Spinner ring uneven flaring
What am I doing wrong? I have just bought a durston flaring tool for making spinner rings, my method is as follows, make the ring using10mm wide metal about 0.8mm thick to a size P, I polish it to a bright polish then pattern it until it stretches out to a Q which will be the size of the finished ring, I then made three larger bands that fit loosely over the main ring, place on the flaring tool tighten it and the ring doesnt flare evenly, it seems to start and then moves as it flares meaning it flares a lot on one side and not much on the other, I have used dapping or doming punches before and not had the same problem, is it salvageable or is it start again?
