I would only use the soapy water to mount the rim strip. The guy in the film says the rim strip is made from a very sticky kind of rubber and amor all has the opposite effect.

They make the rim strip from sticky rubber for a reason. To keep it well in it's place after the soapy water has evaporated I presume.
