• I let it soak in a bucket of hot water for a few mins, which made it a whole lot more compliant.

    Tried it already. No avail!

  • Are you finishing at the valve? That lets you maximise getting most of the tyre bead in the valley of the rim.

    If it's fresh tape, fitting a tyre (that you can get on) and tube for a few hours may compress the tape onto the rim a little bit more.
