Having the same flair out problem after the cut? I finally took a small hose clamp after the normal taping , slipped the clamp to the cut line, snug it up and cut right next to the clamp. After the cut loosen the clamp just enough to move it back to start the fitting , pushing the clamp back as the fitting goes on. I do leave the tape on also. I found as stated above it's the cheap hose , not the fitting.
That's a good idea! - I have used the zip ties and cur between two of them - but i like the clamp idea better - lately I have been using the black braided line - much easier to put together!
