Do I understand correctly, the tubes are self rolled?
I have the same 19,7mm tool here, only tube supply is not easy since René is out of business.
I don't have a press and I ram them too. But I found the raliability is not so good, especially nozzled.
Nozzleless is better, but if the fuel is hotter then 75/15/10 (GREENMIX but good charcoal) the explode.
I allways topfused them.
Good luck for your test
