How I Glue Pull This Dent Out Using Lines: PDR Glue Techniques

[@totallynotthefeds]

Whoever thought of the strip lights is an absolute genius

[@tizme6105]

Yep. I could have done with that light source in the body shop 60 yrs ago.

[@Stinger296]

I’m guessing whoever thought of it had fluorescent lights in their shop

[@exposingthetruth3821]

I do the same thing, but it's a magnetic base block that has a grid of lasers each direction, about 3mm apart. I honestly like this light better tbh. The light bars show considerably better what needs to be done. I'll be investing in such, it's a great idea.

[@jaycreate7701]

I instantly recognized it cause in blender there is a matcap, which allows you to see problems on the model's surface, just like it.

I learned more in this short than in every PDR video I’ve watched Edit: not sure why my comments are being removed but to answer a few people who have asked, PDR is paintless dent repair. It’s an art form as far as im concerned

The fact that automotive paint can withstand that pounding and bending is impressive

[@ttbjammn]

I was an industrial coatings chemist for over 21 years. Not surprising to me at all. Automotive paint needs to meet very strict impact standards for flexibility/durability. It is the total combination of the primer basecoat along with the topcoat flexibility. Basecoat primer, midcoat metallic, then clear topcoat. All took the impact of course.

[@iamshredder3587]

Optical metrology? Never even heard of it. 😅 Metrology is like the science of measurement or study of measurements yeah? And optical like sight or the phenomenon of sight and it's connection to the visible light spectrum? Or something like that, probably not the best definition haha. So something to do with the science of measurement systems relating to the visible light spectrum and how we humans perceive it through sight? Something like that?😄 There's really a science and an expert for everything these days. )) Interesting though. Thanks for sharing. Can't help wondering how' you'd know that. And nanometer? So, small? Really small? Nano = one billionth of something if I remember right . Or a thousand million. (I used to think it was a million millions for some reason) So ten nanometers = 10/1000 000 000? Or in technical jargon, as I said... real real small. :)) Fascinating though how much we know and are still learning day to day, not slowing down but faster.... and yet how much there is to know and how very very very little of it we as a collective actually know let alone as individuals. Except in the internet of course, where everyone knows everything about everything. :))

That last tool you used is something similar to a tool Locksmiths use to destructively pull a locks plug out. The plug is the part where you insert your key. I wonder if one for Automotive use would work and be cheaper. Because they're about $200-$300 for the Locksmithing oriented tool and only work for certain lock types/brands. It's something quicker and easier to use than drilling the core.
