flaring brake lines

nazgulMember

hi all

i needed to make a set of brake lines, so i bought a flaring tool at the local auto parts store. when i double flare a tube, the inner surface of the flare has a series of small concentric rings that match the tooling marks on the tool anvil. these rings are not present on factory made flares.

will the concentric rings eventually cause a leakage problem, or will the fitting draw the tube up tight enough and deform the concentric rings enough so that brake fluid leakage is not a problem??

i just hate to go ahead bend all the lines, bleed the system and then find out i did a boo-boo.

thanks
