Yep do it. Mic it before you hammer on it then shoot for expanding it 0.010" to 0.015". Make a mark with a black sharpie so as you roll it around the pipe you can track your progress and check it with your micrometer periodically. I usually have to roll around about 3 or 4 times to get that much expansion. You can concentrate hammer blows on a narrow place if needed but try to get it nice and consistent all the way around. A 16 oz. hammer is all it takes. Never had one fail.
