I usually
1) enlarge the holes already in the rims
2) select a tire/foam combo
3) trim any rubber-casting nubs off the tire where it would meet the rim
4) set the tire onto the rim nicely
5) use a thin piece of strapping tape (actually one piece of tape for the outer bead and one for the inner bead, but not at the same time) to make a nice uniform contact between tire and rim
6) use super thin "Bob Smith" CA glue (usually has a "store" label on it) -- it just seeps right in to the space between the tire and rim
7) let it set up and put a second bead of the CA glue on
8) do steps 5-7 again for the other bead
This might not be as quick as some ways.
I don't do the scuffing/cleaning.
I used to punch holes in my tires, but with these new ways of cleaning tires -- brush mounted in bucket, I just fill up my bucket with water till the water is even with the tops of the bristles, then I clean the tire without getting water up into the rim holes.
