1) Buy them pre-bent from TRF.

2) Buy Cunifer (copper-nickel alloy) lines, they are much softer and easier
to bend with your fingers.  (But don't try to use ordinary copper or
anything not designed for brake system service.)

3) I have a very small diameter tubing bender, with a notch cut to receive
the tubing nut, but I have no idea where to find another one like it (and
you can't have mine).

I've never had any luck with the sand approach, but maybe that's just me.
Bought some of those springs that slip over the outside, but so far I've
only tried them on much larger steel tubing (1/2").  They helped some, but
were a pain to use.
