You can also easily flare the end of the tube by hitting it with an open flame. While on the subject, before I got my Renzetti Tube Fly Head, I used a "darning" needle that I bought at JoAnn's. Put the needle eye in the vise jaws and the taper of the needle holds the tube pretty snug...

If you know anyone who works in the medical field, oxygen tubing and IV tubing make great junction tubing. Have them pick up a nasal cannula setup and you will have a couple different sizes to work with.
