Glue,
dowels and screws
A more complex but effective
method of dent removal can be tried using hot glue, wooden dowels and screws.
- Place two nails at one end of each dowel, on opposite sides. This is to be used as a grip when pulling pressure is applied.
- Put hot glue at the base of the dowels and place them around the dent.
- Let the glue dry and pull on the dowels to straighten out the dent.
A
long metal rod and a mallet
Often the edges around a dent are
raised upwards. Popping out the dent from below will not fix the upward protrusion
of the metal. In such cases, you need to apply pressure from below using a long
metal rod to push the dent up; use a wooden or rubber mallet at the same time
to knock the protrusion down. You can thus attempt to repair the dent
completely.
Proprietary
dent removal kits
There are a number of DIY dent
removal kits available in the market. Most of them operate on the same
principles of the various methods outlined in this blog. They are convenient to
use, but the reviews on most of them are mixed.
