I went to town and picked up a 8" piece of brake tube from O'Rielly's yesterday to see if maybe my flares would turn out better with a different brand. The brand from O'Riellys is called Edelmann easy bend and has green rust protective coating. This stuff flares so much better than the AAS copper alloy tubing I got from Amazon and I'm really leaning towards using this stuff instead. It is still a copper alloy material, however it isn't quite as soft and pliable as the AAS line. The only thing that bugs me about the Edelmann line is that it has a seam, where as the AAS line does not. Here is picture of a flare I made using the Edelmann line from Oriellys. How does this look to you guys?
