It wont blow up, but it will eventually smoke that glue off into the plants atmosphere. Get some Goof Off or similar product, or take a rag and hot water and start rubbing gently. This will take awhile, but it will come off eventually.

The best thing you can clean it with is alcohol, that makes sure there isn't any type of residue left when you are done. You definitely don't want any kind of residue left on the bulb it will ruin them, even the oil from your skin. Make sure it is clean before you put it in use.
