you dont need flour, you put the new tube in air it up let it down, then air it up again ,this allows the tube to get all the folds out and sets the tube in proper place. When a tire sits and goes down you cant just air it up and ride. You have to air it up while checking the beads are seating properly.
First, use powder instead of flour. Flour and water make a paste that turns into a mess, especially when it dries. Also powder really helps getting the tire on and not so much when you add air.
Completely agree on checking the bead to be sure the tube isn't caught before inflating. It's alway good to have a couple pounds in the tube while mounting - not enough to make the job difficult. Then let the air out and look all around the bead to be certain the tube isn't pinched. Inflate and you won't have a problem.
