I'm at a bit of loss as to what to do now.

Purchased a bunch of primochill 10/13 tubing and was having real difficulty getting my 10mm xspc silicon insert into the tube, checked the ID of the tube and it's 9.3!

I've been trying to sand down my insert in order for it to fit but 30 minutes in I'm barely getting anywhere and I feel like I've wrecked the insert now(Still doesn't fit to boot)

Anyone have experience with this brand of tubing before? got any tips that I could use to make my life easier? I bought another insert from alphacool to see if that makes a difference, really don;t want to buy a whole new set of tubing.

I though some olive oil/washing up liquid and some twist and push action would be enough, apparently not.
 
It was in warm soapy water in a basin for 20 mins (Thought letting it soak would help)

Didn't seem to help much, was watching monsoons vids on bending and their insert slips in without and lubrication at all, maybe they were using 13/16 with a 10mm insert?

Either way I found a 9mm insert on ebay that looks like it would help, I'll give that a try.
 
Just realised primochill use imperial as their measurments 3/8 in 9.52mm and the bending insert from xspc was metric 10mm.

Why do we still use imperial these days? =P

Shame you can't buy primochill inserts separately from ocuk
