		  How do you make a beaded line in a tool designed for flares and double flares?


	




Hi David,



Just clamp the tube with about 1/8 inch protruding.  Place the double flare 

die in the end of the tube, and then squeeze it until you've formed the 

size bead you want.  Experiment a bit with the amount of tube protruding 

and the amount of squeeze and you'll get perfect rounded raised beads like 

those from a beading tool - just what you need to help seal and retain the 

fuel hose on the tube.



I also used the tool to make an enlarged end on my fuel vent tubes to 

capture a disc of aluminum window screen to keep bugs out of the vents.

Have  Fun!
