TPI runner dents.

NE1 removed the dents in the TPI runner tubes using steel *****? Does it work? I read you can force a series of steel ***** [going up in size each time] to slowly push the dents out. Any tips?

Several people in other posts have mentioned that they took their runners to (after a good cleaning) to shops that repair musical instruments (horns). The dents were easily to remove and it did not cost too much to do. One said that they polished them also for no extra charge, but I guess that would depend on the shop.

That sounds like a plan...I don't think it would be too hard to force them through, considering how flimsy that aluminum is, but Im not sure how I would go about that.
