Is it our tool or your own? Once it slips through, you've essentially drawn the metal to a smaller diameter. It will be more difficult to flare at that point. It is still workable, but will be more difficult. If you can cut the small piece off that is shrunk, you can start over. Be careful if you're leaving the braided line on the setup...you only have so much hardline to work with before you cannot get the flaring bar on anymore.
Shoot me an e-mail, or give me a call, I'd be happy to help you further.
