yiMMy has a special way to warm 'em...
Goop is NOT needed on 95% of Genuine GreenGlides, they are custom machined for an exact fit.
If your glide is one of the few that requires some adhesive, it would have been included with the packaging.
In general, a warm glide instals easier than a cold glide, on some it can mean just not installing it in 20ºf weather, on others it means physically heating it to 150ºf core temp so that the teflon is pliable.
Many guys will tell you to just force them on while at room temp, be careful, because as most will install with some "help", it is very likely you will cause stress fractures that will materialize months down the road and the glide will crack, not to mention the stretch on the cold teflon will not "spring back" and the glide will be loose
A properly warmed glide will not develop these stress fractures and will stretch easily without distorting.
What model does your glide say on it Greg?

One thing I might add...
Although,I do not use them often...
They are one of the best thought of ideas to hit the market...
Many items that i purchased just were poorly made and never fully tested...
With
greenglides that has never been the case...Excellent quality...

Assuming your glide looks to fit your wand, which I'm sure it does cause your local guy seems to know what he is doing, then you have a WestPak wand and it's an easy on once the glide is warmed, some a hard, this one is not. I like to flip the wand upside down while standing and use your body weight to pull the hot glide onto the wand starting at one end and working it across one inch at a time.
