Put the tape on the rim, leaving the backing on the exposed side, dont overlap ends. Put the foam in the tire, then assembly on rim. Peel rear side of tire up enough to snag the tape backing with some tweezers or similar. slowly pull the tape backing out and the foam should set down on the now exposed sticky part.
