I haven't over the past 12 years and never had any failure issues.
A lot of kit tubes now come already scuffed?

During the manufacturing process, they use lubricants especially for drawn tubes so it does not harm to clean off any residue left over. I have in the past done both ways. I have managed to break off blanks from the tubes but whether that was down to the way I glued them or the type of glue or even wether I cleaned the tubes off, or even just me being in a hurry and heavy handed I will never know.
One Abrades ones tubes, one does not scuff
