Glue pulling & Blending a crease dent on Audi rail | Dent repair | PDR

In this video I am glue pulling and blending a crease dent on Audi A3 rail. Dent repair or PDR was preformed this means no painting.
This time I set my camera in a better angle to view the repair itself.
I was using a KECO dead center tabs, Gang Green tabs, Tiddy Slide hammer and Kiwi slide hammer. For blending I was using a Ratchet Hatchet blending hammer.
Hope you like this dent repair by glue pulling and blending a crease dent on Audi A3 rail.

After you pull a tab, are you tapping down the center or around the center?

[@vidicz]

It all depends on the situation but normally you want to tap down the highest point.

[@АвтомобильныйМир-е9м]

What kind of glue have you used in this repair and how long do you wait before you pull?

[@vidicz]

www.denttoolcompany.nl/en/black-glue-25-sticks-all-weather.html This is the glue I use. I honestly dont know seconds of wait time since I am already so used to it, but it is setting up fast

[@poetricsilence9913]

Great repair.

[@vidicz]

poetric silence thank you 😊 👍

[@jimself8762]

Love your work and your tutorials, Zan, but I'm curious... why don't we ever see you heat up the repair before the pushing/pulling?

[@vidicz]

Jim Self I only use heat where I see the chance of damaging the paint

[@WoznyVanlife]

Nice and clean repair, as always. 👍 And this guy at 4:45. 😁

[@vidicz]

WoZnY1988 yes you found him 😅👍👍

[@dragantanevski6013]

Great repair. Good camera angle

Dragan Tanevski thanks 😊

[@Noname-me8dx]

Would be better without music

[@vidicz]

I understand. Some people say the opposite, that it is boring without it...You can always mute it :)

[@bulit3538]

Nice tutorial

[@vidicz]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@robtankbuster5215]

Super job! Just when i think you got the dent looking great you still do more!

[@vidicz]

Thanks Rob. Trying to do the best I can possible

[@Mrjoker622]

Hi what knock down tips your using on your hammer

[@vidicz]

I use the dead on dent tool and edgy tools.

[@Mrjoker622]

@@vidicz thank you

[@thenamelenn]

Dear zan divic, First of all i love your vids and they have learned me alot during me being a beginnner in the pdr world. For glue pulling: how to choose the right tab? Do you use a tab that is the same size as the dent? Or bigger / smaller? I have had ot of different answers on this and i just want to ask a real pro. Thanks for answering cheers from belgium!

[@vidicz]

Hei. I always use a tab that is smaller then the whole dent. Not too small but smaller. Greetings to Belgium and thanks for watching 👍

[@galf6506]

Molto bravo complimenti

[@jasongibbs8151]

What are you spraying on the glue to make it release?

[@Makaronchuk]

Спирт

[@vidicz]

Isopropanol

[@ibetired]

Amazing

[@vidicz]

Thank you much appreciated.

[@bobbyserchion]

Great job good content man

[@vidicz]

Thanks, much appreciated

[@bobbyserchion]

@@vidicz sure but you got to do it for me ✌ too

[@jimself8762]

Also, if you do use heat what is YOUR preferred method/tool?

[@vidicz]

Jim Self it all depends on the damage, but if I use heat I make sure I make slow and precise pushes since paint is close to cracking

[@alexandrmelichar]

This types of reapirs take me rly a lot of time to finish up:(

[@vidicz]

Glue pulling is always harder then pushing. Don't worry about the time it takes you as long as you do the quality product at the end! Speed will come!

[@franciscoramos226]

Great job, Zan!! 👍

[@vidicz]

Thank you :)

[@stickybeakkiwi7959]

I like your style of videos, keep them up 👍 great repair work

[@vidicz]

Thank you! I will try :)

[@tonymcpartland1770]

Great repair and blending, what weight slide puller did you use?

[@vidicz]

Hi. Thanks Tony. Don't know the weight but it is called Tiddy slide hammer from Druz Toolz

[@tonymcpartland1770]

Dear Zan. Great vids. Last night, A 5-meter steel roofing beam came off the roof of my shed and landed straight onto the roof of my Mercedes convertible. I'm devastated. I talked to you earlier last year and put PDR aside for a while and just started repairing the hail damage on the car using the painted method. However to try to straighten out my roof I've tried to glues pull where the impact struct from that steel beam! I stuck on glue tabs and pulled them with the slide hammer as hard as I could and they didn't move at all and snapped the back of the plastic glue tab. I'm in some strife here. Any suggestion for me to pull this rail back into position so I can then apply some bondo? Do you think I need to buy a stud welder just for this? Any suggestions would be so helpful.

[@vidicz]

Hi. This is really sharp dent and that Mercedes has really strong metal! That would be a nightmare to move! I would suggest the conventional way

[@tompongrac8952]

@@vidicz Thanks for the advice. I'll my pdr tools away on this one then

[@tompongrac8952]

​@@vidicz Dear Zan. I noticed a high spot on my dent from when I pulled a glue tab so hard that it snapped. I was just wondering if I bought a kit of aluminium glue tabs that they might be able to withstand extreme pulling. Do you have any experience with these types of tabs? Photo of highspot - imgur.com/a/krrRLx8

[@vidicz]

@@tompongrac8952 tabs will break as they are consumables. Plastic tabs still work the best even of they break so I wouldn’t spend money on those aluminum tabs

[@Makaronchuk]

Работа 🔥💪👍

[@rk69Camaro]

Great repair, very clean... some of the hardest damage I find is snow brush damage, it leaves a hard low impact line on the curve of a roof rail....Its so hard to blend out because of the severity of the impact. Any hints please 🙂

[@vidicz]

rk69Camaro thank you. That is a thought one yes! What tabs are you using for that job?

[@rk69Camaro]

@@vidicz Thanks for the reply, I'm using : dead centre crease, gang green root beer. Just with the severity of the impact I find those repairs hard.

[@vidicz]

rk69Camaro yes I agree those are hard repairs. The tabs you are using are great tabs. It also comes down to glue, panel preparation, opening up the dent and light placement

[@rk69Camaro]

@@vidicz Thanks 😊

[@aristidescastillo8089]

Great job how long did it take you and how much you charge for something like that?

[@vidicz]

Hi. I think this one took me about 30-45 min if I remember correctly :)

[@kenmastersmaster]

What's the hardest part about glue pulling? Is it to get a hard enough pull? Or the knocking down micro highs? Is black glue better or orange/clear glue?

[@Makaronchuk]

Нельзя однозначно ответить. Клеи все отличаются, не по цвету. Какой-то нужно ждать, какой-то горячим лучше тянет. Также и с тягой, где-то чуть, где-то сильно дёрнуть надо.

[@vidicz]

Hardest part would probably be pulling the center out. Each glue is good in a way, you just need to get used to it

[@tompongrac8952]

Hey Zan, when you tap down it looks like you tap down both the dark (shadow) and the light side of the mountain equally. I've been only going for the light side cause I thought that's what you meant from your tap down video. I'll have to play with it again

[@vidicz]

Well you need to open the dent up so it's equaly important to tap back and forth

[@tompongrac8952]

Zan Vidic You make it look easy. I just tried again tonight and couldn’t get it to flatten. I’ll keep practising (y)
