Would this work?
It does work, but I urge you to watch this before trying it...

I usually carry a can of starter fluid in my recovery kit - just in case I get an opportunity to have to try it 
But iirc I have tubes all-round so I doubt I'll get the chance.
fyi if you are in a situation where you need to bead a tyre and have no good air pressure to do so, try jacking it up and a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tyre to get some pressure on the beads. Won't always work, but a lot safer.
I'd only try the fire beading method if desperate. I believe 2 to 3 seconds of spray is the max you should use if you don't want to blow your tyre up or set the car on fire etc. Obviously jack the car up so tyre's off the ground, be sure you have no petrol leaks - and stand back.
