So I seen dent discount do this glue a board to keep it from blowing out.i was told it was unnecessary because bottom wasn’t bent but why take the chance. Did it all with a double bend soft tip from ultra dent .i spent 8 hours on it..After doing it I think I should have started with glue instead of pushing while hitting the crowns to get it to release.Next time I’ll try to get pics ahead of time to get some direction from the group.Live to hear how you would attack this.

I returned to the scene of my first pdr crime. My first attempt at hail damage on an aluminum hood one year ago.I go back to it every once in a while to show myself how much I don’t know and how far I have to go to become capable at this craft that I love. I got it a little bit better today.

Pretty deep dent to start learned a lot on this one turned out clean. Was having a lot of issues with that last 10 % I think it turned out well I had made a hot mess out of it. Luckily I reached out to a fellow who does PDR use to come by our shop gave me some pointers. Helped a lot keep At it guys testing our patience ! NO BUFF !

Finishing a dent is absolutely the hardest part for me. That last low spot when looking at it with the light far away. Or even the last subtle highs that need to be knocked down just right 😮‍💨

Thanks to @Terry Swanson encouraging me to get it I recently bought a cold glue set After being surprised by how well it sticks and blowing out a panel 🫣 Today I had the perfect opportunity to make it shine This is on the hailed Golf 8 but no hail related, those dents are caused by customer pushing on the trunk to close it so thankfully it's only shallow dents I took it slow, picked a lighter slide hammer and gave it a shot And wow, after only 3 minutes of pulling, not even touching a hammer it was already 80-90% improved ! I still struggle with blending so it took me a bit after that and it's not a 100% repair but it took me less than an hour total, no R&I, and its totally okay from customers view My set only includes big tabs so now I want to get smaller tabs too and I recommend you too 😜
