[QUOTE="walled01alero, post: 6929670, member: 622835"] yea we'll see how my paint skills turn out. I use a heat gun to get one side almost maleable to the finger, then i stick it on a clay pot that has a pretty steep edge to it. Once that makes about a 2" flared section, i stick it in a bucket of cold water prevent the inside from bowing in on the next step. After the flare is hard again i start heating the tip of the flare and stick it on a shallow pan-top. Then i move to an almost flat pan top. At this point i take it to the box its going in, heat the whole end up, stick the port in the hole the way it will be when i'm done, put a board on top of the port, and stand on top of it. That last step flatens it to the box and shapes it to the hole for a better seal. It really takes some practice to not burn/bow in/**** up the pipe. [/QUOTE]
