I am attempting to implement an iso flare on a 1/4' (6m) line. As this is the line that supplies both rear brakes I want to be sure it is done correctly, below is a link to photos of all 4 sides and an overhead view.

My primary concern is that there appears to be an imperfection on one of the sides where the 'bubble' meets the opening at the end of the line.

Is this a correct ISO flare?

Looks a little over pressed to me, bubble should be smooth curve all the way around, looks like it has a ledge on one side as you stated.

Try again this time cut the tube straight across and use a small file to round the outer edge of the tube before forming it, a little lube on the die also. I takes practice.

Also not all flare tools are equal, use the highest quality one you can afford. I have found cheap ones do a poor job.
