depends on the glue that i would use ?
Elmers will do fine, and you can add some water to make it saturate and spread better.
I rewrapped a friends cue only where it was loose.
When I got to the end I didn't need any glue. Stuffed the end in the hole and that was it. I would only use glue in the hole.
Something of note, after new thread is put on it gets flattened somewhat by the installer. When you rewrap yours, you probably won't get the flat sides up and you will notice where you rewrapped it.
If it's just a few wraps won't matter, but if your doing half the grip, go buy new and have a professional put it on.

I actually have an old break/jump cue were the linen has gotten loose. It's about 1.5 inch of the grip where you can twist the linen back and forth.
The wrapping must have been really poorly made in the first place, with too little glue. Since this is a budget cue, it's not worth the cost of having it rewrapped. I will instead try the suggestions above and try to get the loose part of the linen fixed. I just need to get my hands on some glue... an update will follow.

yeah it is under warranty but i was also going to suggest useing a cue grip to put over the linen wrap to protect
