Removing dent using compressed air

[Orablue]

Hi

 

Saw this technique to undo dents in autoblog. Looks interesting. Anyone tried?

The idea is to heat up the dent to soften the metal and use compress hair to force the metal to contract and hopefully the dent pop out like in the video.

 

Worst case is the super cooled part cracked and falls off... haha..

paint job will be gone right? then might as well spray and putty entire panel?

very interesting.. but from the looks of the video.. the metal seems to be very very thin to be able to pop out back??

 

if this can work.. why some workshop still need the "massaging" method??

Probably more suitable for older cars.
