actually with mine it only marked when I did use some lube...its where the lube marks stop in the die...when I did it, it was very clear both on the die and on the tube...


I just want to add that you did a good job finding that mark and grinding it in. Thanks. :D :p :D

cough showoff cough

It's cool when people start bending their own tube, 'cause they can better appreciate nice, well thought-out tubework. Most people don't realize how much thought and work is involved. Also, alot of people don't take into consideration the notching process. Getting a nice tight fitting notch can take as much, if not more thought than the bending.

Here's a "showoff" pic of some doors I finished yesterday. :rofl: My brain still hurts... -_-
