Also helps to debur the valve stem hole in the rim. Take that sharp edge off with a knife or file. Also helps to keep valve stems directly up, of they start to slide at an anglle they can get damaged as well.
Cool idea!

Interesting. Ive never had a flat from that spot, just random pinholes from glass (i assume). What i do is actually de-burr and polish the hole on the inside. Few old wheels i have tend to all come with a harsh edge around the tube hole. I also use gorilla tape as a rim strip as it really lays down flat with no harsh edges like some plastic/factory rim strips.
