I will post a reminder in our team slack to put the video together during our next meeting on Wed.
Another possibility for the "slide it on without air" option is to use hairspray. This is a common method used when installing motorcycle hand grips. Slippery when wet, sticky when dry.

The "sticky when dry" caveat, however, should not be ignored. A 20" wide roller has only the two ends of the rubber tubing to facilitate evaporation. Four sections, each 5" wide, however, might allow for fairly rapid evaporation of the hairspray...
