I had no intention whatsoever of getting back to this thread, but got called on, so here it is even though OP has no interest. I took a pretty flat Matrix Vapor rim, taped with Velox, a new Suomi W240 tire, and new tube. I stumbled few times but it is what it is. I used a floor pump rather than my regular take-along, to shorten the video. Now you can tell do this or that - yes it will presumably take longer.
