    I received my drain plug tube installation kit today,
    and so far made the one (blue) "Fitted Flange Fixture"
    on the lathe with a radius that fits the pre-flared
    end of the tube.
    Instruction card shows the other (blue) "Sloped Flange Fixture"
    with a healthy bevel.
    The store bought flaring tool appears in photos to show both
    flange fixtures formed the same.
    Do you think the fitting that’s going to flare the end of the tube
    can be made the same as the "pre-flared" end?
    It comes with an O-ring, but should I use a little
    marine silicone for good luck?
    Thanks.
