How I Used Hot Glue To Fix This Dent | Paintless Dent Removal

I'm going to teach you how to use a slide hammer for Directional Pulling to get the most effective pulls whilst releasing tension and working with the flow of the metal!
I start by checking for the access points and which tools will get me to which sections of the damage, then I begin to reduce the surrounding dent until I am left with the main dent you see in the photo. I use hot glue to reduce the large dent quickly and then finish the repair with tooling from the inside and some blending techniques to finish.

I just wanted to offer my thanks to you and your videos! I watch some videos of other people doing PDR work including yourself, ordered some tools, and spent 15 minutes on the $2400 dent in my wife's car. Within the first 15 minutes I was able to remove the 90% of the damage! I could not of done it without your videos. I ran a bodyshop back in the 70s we did a lot of swapping out of fenders, doors, bondo work and painting. I don't think anybody ever heard of PDR back then. PDR is a much more of an efficient and cost savings way of repairing damage on cars! Thanks again for the education; who says an old dog can't learn new tricks!

this video was better than therapy! Very satisfying.

I had a similar dent removed, i was told it was a double panel above the wheel arch and had to be done from the outside. One PDR company could not do it, a body shop wanted a β¬1000 to fill and spray, another good PDR guy did it for β¬200 excellent job. Thanks for your info

I love that you do not add to the existing damage. Traditional bodyshop techniques increase the damage and then cover it up. PDR is the way to go!

Hi Tom. I've worked on a few repairs using my own vehicles and I can tell you, I have much more appreciation for the skill it takes to be really good. (Especially that last 10%) My repairs are terrible in comparison but I continue to enjoy the learning process. Thank you.
