REFLECTOR: tube flare question

[Alex Balic]

Hi Matt-

That looks like an automotive tool- you might w3ant to verify the angle on
the flare- the tool I have makes the AN flare- it has a turret-type setup
for the tube grip- 2 wheels that can be rotated to take different sizes of
tube- the tube grips are smooth, and the flare cone has ribs on it that
burnish the face of the flare as it is forming it.

Attached are 2 pics.
#1 shows the marks left on the oil tube from the flare tool.  #2 shows the
tool.  I tried wrapping 1 layer of tape around the tube before I flared it,
however, I still get marks on the tub from the tool.  
Are the marks normal, or am I using the wrong tool?
Matt
