Crimping?


No - that puts wrinkles in it. I'm thinking of trying it on a piece of pipe
that's just an awkward fit - too small for 40 mm compression (which I want),
too big for 32 mm - I'll try to warm it up and get 40 mm push fit over it.
Can't afford to increase the dia. of the 40 mm.
Luckily, I picked up on impulse a heat gun fro Aldidl last year.
