Not sure whether another bit of advice will be of use. My way is about basic as you can probably get, but worked well for me.
My technique was to get 1/8 donuts. Cut the inner ribs, using a Stanley knife along the base of the rib and then wire cutters to peel the rib off.
Man-handle the tyres over the rims. The harder compounds are more difficult to get on. But with a bit of effort and painful fingers and you can get them on.
In terms of truing I used the highly technical method of just cutting the tyre with a stanley knife as straight as posdible. You can get a pretty clean cut and left it like that. As Matt said after a few heats they shape themselves fairly well.
I have always used contact adhesive as opposed to super glue. It doesn't get absorbed by the tyre.
Sounds hard work but with foams they last for ages so you don't have to do it very often at all.
