   Clean area around dent

   Apply heat from hair dryer for one minute

It makes sense. Has anyone tried it yet?

[Blueflameguy2]

ive seen it work with a torch and dry ice....  same principle, dont see why this wouldnt work too if the dryer gets it hot enough....

[Davesax36]

I'm pretty sure I've never seen an acetylene hair dryer.....

but the concept is sound. I saw jesse james do it on monster garage when he rewelded some stuff on the roof of a civic or something and the whole thing folded up.

Pug..ya made me have to ask, does this work on trailers...J/K
by the way, I gave up all that stuff when I parked my Harley in a ditch 32 years ago. 
Haven't been on one since.  Behaved more or less too.

thats pretty cool. i'm gonna have to try it. i still have a couple of dings on the side of my tank even after using the ding king. it did a hell of a job, but you can still see it a little bit. i wonder if that lil trick will finish it off

Our gas tanks have curves at a much steeper angle (if that makes any sense) than on a car...  That stuff works for hail damage on a car pretty well, but on our tanks, I dunno, worth a try...

I've heard of people using dry ice before, never seen it done though.  But I'd be wary of a video that looks like a 7 year old lost his spell checker.  Although, CouldBFaster spells that bad and still usually knows what he's talking about.

sure looked and sounded real enough, but I believe everything I see on the internet.

anyone try it yet? I am curious

[CouldBFaster]

We did it at the body shop for hail damage with Dry Ice. You can uese anything even a good hot day to heat up the metal in the dented area. Now it dose not work on all dents. but it better to try before you get your car or bike repaired then painted.

Thanks I think..
I don't know if I want to thank you or smack you with a board.
