Or do they already come flared for you?

I do not believe a flare is necessary. They are tapered already. Insert them into a tapered hole. If the tapered hole was in 1/8" thick area of poly, then a matching 1/16" plate (with matching hole pattern) could be epoxied over to hold them in place (one dab at the four corders should do. Or maybe even epoxy each one in place. The tapered nature of the joint will be extremely strong so they should stay very straight.
The capacity is for the whole tube, you would only need the very tip.
