Bead Form Tool [Merged 8-7] beading beaded tube tubing

[STARION]

hey, well, I am beading my IC pipes (using JB weld) and am wondering if it matters hugely how thick the beads are. I don't want them to be so big that I have to wrestle to put on the silicone couplings. I'm thinking that more than anything, just having a bead will help, and making it taller will not net a huge gain. However, I also want them to hold boost, just wondering if anybody has any insights

If you plan to make a habit of rolling beads for people, I found this fairly affordable solution. Wouldn't take too long to make your money back. $125

They sell that same POS at harbor freight for $100. If it wasn't 2am when I needed to devise a way to do my pipes, I would have gone down the street and bought one.

Apparently in metalworking circles, it's very common to buy that tool and reinforce it.
