Yes it hurts, I'd be lying if I said it doesn't. But, we move on.
I find sometimes I don't think situations through far enough and everything has consequences.
Thats so bad, is there a way to true up both ends and re-glue, i would hate to lose so many hours of work
It looks like your orientation changed about 10:00 in the ring.
How are you using the center disc or did I miss it in an earlier post?
Stuart, initially I started out by cutting a circle template for around the outside to force the ring round. That proved a bit cumbersome so I moved to cutting a disk to put in the centre that was just shy of the inside diameter. Too big and the segments don't pull together, too small and the hose clamp can force it out of round and that would mess with the alignment. Do you have an easier way? I did try the elastic band route but I guess I have too many thumbs for that.It looks like your orientation changed about 10:00 in the ring.

Many different ways to skin this cat. I use zip ties and just snug them up loosely to make sure the outside corners tips are all aligned. I then use a tightening tool to pull it tight. I have used disks slightly larger than the center to hold the rings flat and then secured with rubber bands but usually if I'm going to use rubber bands the ring is small enough I can hold it down. On thing I found that made adding the band was to start with it around my wrist on the hand holding down the ring. If I try holding it in my hand segments go flying.
