Yeah that gets to be a problem....UNLESS you have a mandrel bender.......and if
u dont have that a normal bender can do a very good job. Albiet on some bends
you will have to reinfoce it due to a bit of crinkling, but the tube wont
collapse.
The KEY is to make sure to HEAVELY lube the back of the die, where the tube is
supposed to slip, i find that a large gob of bearing grease works well.
