I have a piece of 5/16" thin wall brass tubing about 12" long that I need to bend 90 degrees close to one end. I thought of filling the tube with Woods metal/Cerrobond to make the bend.
I could use a tube bender, but knowing my luck something is bound to go wrong and I'll end up with a flat or kink at the bend. I only have enough tube for one go at the job. So my plan is to anneal the tube, fill with Woods metal first then use a tube bender.
Question: How best to fill the tube with the molten metal?
