I don't do donut...but I don't mine if SOMEONE will do that gluing parts for me and all I need to do is true them in 1 degree pre-camber, that, I can handle.
My buddy has been glueing /un-glueing tires from old rims with new donuts for years....last time he told me, he has to soak the old tires into some chemical stuff, then the old foams will slide out very easy (his term easy is probably still very hard for me)....then he will put on some contact cement or some sort and slide the new foams on it, then let it dry....
I am sure I missed some step in between, but again, I was not the one doing it, so I don't care.....I am sure someone here can add up something that I missed....for example, what is the name of that chemical...? I have no idea...
P.S...I know my buddy does have a metal CONE looking tools that help to slide in the rear foams....that is a KEY tools for the whole process.
