How to Repair Dents in Sheet Metal?
1 Answers
The method for repairing dents in sheet metal is as follows: Place a suction cup on the dented area, use a vacuum pump to create a vacuum inside the suction cup, and then pull the dent out by traction. After that, the area is tapped to restore its original shape. Car dent repair requires micro-shaping the dent while preserving the original factory paint. Sheet metal dent repair is performed from the inside because the force needs to act directly on the steel plate without affecting the paint surface. However, for more severe dents, a hot glue stick is often used directly on the paint surface. When heated, the glue stick adheres to the dent and can be pulled out without damaging the paint surface.
