I find that the double flares done by a hydraulic flaring tool are not as consistent in the mating surface as the ones using a tool that spins the end into the flare.
SO I have found that lightly snugging the nut and then spinning the tube around a few times (lapping the flares together) then light tightening and repeating the spinning of the flare will lap the two together and alleviate leaks- it works especially well on problem stainless flares.
