How ironic - the second Nike Apache kit I got from Ebay also had a dented end!
These older brown tubes are better than a new white ones. I'll try to fix it.
First slide in the adapter fro support and to pressure the tube into a better round shape.
Medium CA was applied with a Q-tip.
Be careful not to glue the adapter into the tube.
Before the CA glue sets up, roll over the area to mold the wet tube with a burnisher.
This will glue down any high areas and strengthen the end overall.
I'll still add some CWF and sand to fill any low areas.
Here's the tube after the CA glue.
It's round now and strong enough to be salvaged.
