    Has anyone tried the product called "Final Touch" to do this? Not
    sure who makes it, but it's Stuller product 53-1901 (page 448 of
    Tools vol 56). It's 3 hardened rods with rounded concave shapes
    carved out of the end, which comes with a urethane block drilled with
    holes for earring prongs. It's advertised as being for final
    tightening down of prongs on settings, but it looks like it could be
    the precise shape needed for closing tubes, as well. 

    The other thought was dapping cutters, but they may also be a bit
    too shallow in their curvature. 

    Certainly got me thinking about better ways to do it, though!
