CRC silicone works gud. clean surfaces then spray sidewall - at the
removal area - twice with dryout between.
try belt dressing on the rim brake surfaces for brake prep. cleans
light dirt with isopropyl, thinner then iso takes prep off for new
coat.

I'd go with putting silicone spray on the tyre mounting tool, wiping
off the excess but not on the tyre itself. Whether it will actually
harm the tyre, I don't know. What I do know is that on the tyre/rim
combinations I have used, a reduction in friction between rim and tyre
assists in the untimely demounting of a tyre.

CRC keeps rubber rubbery by design. If using for talc replacement then
allow a light spray drying time before install.
The idea isnot friction reduction but giving the tool sliding power.
Spray for 12", only reducing tire-rim pressure thru reduced diameter/
circumference

If you have no way of providing effective removal of your spray that's
"giving the tool sliding power", then it will reduce the friction that
holds the tyre bead to the rim, so compromising the security of the
tyre. It seems likely that the silicone fluid is better applied by
finger to the rim edge and then removed afterwards. OR NOT

Using a silk cloth eases a tyre over a sticky rim. When you get to
the last bit of tyre, put the fold of a silk cloth into the tyre and
push the tyre over the rim. I think that even a polythene sheet will
work, if a little messy in the thinner foils.

gnaw. specious BS.
used the CRC for unnngh 4 years before discovering the datakoll tire
removal method (dtrm) or caws of not discovering.
With Conti TT lightwalls at 90 pounds, Spec tubes, running 60-80
pounds rear, 25 front, 165 rider at up to 20 mph on a relatively
smooth surface (downwind dude downwind) enough for curling the seat
stay paint - never attire problem unless dropping the rig offen a
curb.
highly recommended

With reference to the Rema website, their tyre assembly paste is
described as having 'tack'. The product may be suitable for bicycle
tyres. It's having 'tack' means it is not silicon. I think I would
rather use a syrup or gum if I couldn't manage enough spit and didn't
have a thin cloth. The simplest solution may be a glue stick. It's
wet to provide lubrication at the start and can only enhance bead
adhesion (when dry). Of course getting it wet later may put you in a
worse state and so you must test for resolubility.
