Here is what worked for me when internal sleeving booms damaged by
overzealous U bolt tightening. Way more damage than "faintly discernible".
Chamfer the male end with a smooth file, slather on a lot of Penetrix or
No-Alox or similar on both ID and OD (cleaned first), put a wood block
against the male part far end to hit with a mallet with somebody holding
the out of round female section. If you can't get it started, then
expand the female end with ideas mentioned, or make a tapered plug to
flare the end a bit.

Hi, all.
Working on an used antenna over the weekend, I came across a boom section that
was out-of-round enough such that the other boom section would not slide in to.
It is faintly discernible to the human eye.
How would one go about correcting it?
Thanks & 73,
Kim - WG8S
