How do Auto Body Shops Fix Dents?

[@RustyGlovebox]

Great job showing how you don't have to beat on it to straighten it . Light pressure with the right tools get it looking good with less work. 👍👍

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks 👍 RG - have a good weekend and thanks for always watching :)

[@leebarker539]

So good. I see the whole process as art, but especially locating the studs and knowing where and how much to tap. I enjoy these high-quality videos.

[@LakesideAutobody]

I appreciate the comment Lee - thanks for watching 😊

You make some of the best easy to follow instructional videos Jerry!

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks for the kind words UPK - always appreciate you checking them out. Enjoy the weekend my friend :)

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

@@LakesideAutobody I’m playing catch up on your videos, have a good weekend my friend!

[@staggersspecial4288]

You got me thinking about hitting the high spots to straighten the dent out. I've often wondered why panel beaters hit around the dented area.. think you might have answered my query. Good job jerry

[@LakesideAutobody]

Glad it helped SS - have a good weekend :)

[@vicshonebethel9934]

Excellent illustration on how to properly use a stud gun Jerry 👍

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks Vicshone - good to hear from you my friend :)

[@BruceLyeg]

Nice job. My stud welder bit the dust last week and almost 25 years of service, time for a new one. Have a great weekend

[@LakesideAutobody]

You might be happy with this HF one. You can always try it and take it back if you don't like it :)

[@johnpappas2060]

Bless Thanks 😊 Tried using a mig attachment to weld nails on & it was a disaster. Seeing you use the HF gun convinced to just buy the gun. Enjoyable & educational

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks for the support John - glad you enjoyed it :)

Hi Jerry, thank you for the Friday video. You made my day. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@LakesideAutobody]

Always a pleasure hearing from you GM - thanks for the support. You have a great weekend too my friend :)

[@partonkevin]

I was using my stud welder earlier in the week. I have GOT to get a pogo stick! The slide hammer alone makes a mess of things.

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Great video, Jerry! Great linked videos to similar topics. I like that you name you videos properly so when I want to search KZbin but did not know you had posted such a video, it directs me to you! (easy for me and others to come across them) Thanks for showing us some of the tricks of the trade & why your years of skill and practice make you so good at what you do! You make it look easy, but I know it is years of practice.

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks for the kind words Uncle Mark and thanks for always checking out the videos. Enjoy the rest of the week 👍🛠😊

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

I love this channel. So much I decided to fix my daughters fender damage. Bought stuff based on your suggestions doing it this weekend. Hopefully I can get the fender flat as I only had glue puller and some dent removal tools can’t afford the harbor freight stud tool so going to try heating it up with mapp and hammering it lower for filler. Lol fingers crossed 🤞

[@LakesideAutobody]

Let me know how it goes and if you have ?s just ask. I get to them 1-2 times a day :)

[@88Painterman]

When using your stud welder do you disconnect the battery?

[@LakesideAutobody]

Yes - any type of welding you should disconnect the battery - that's according to ICAR too :)

[@pstreetgarage7304]

Great video Jerry. That mini pogo stick seems to give you alot more control than the slide hammer would ?

[@LakesideAutobody]

You're right and you really do need that control :)

[@AcuraLvR82]

If I may ask, what sanding grits did you use to sand down the filler after the cheese grater? Thank you for another great video.

[@LakesideAutobody]

40 grit to start - nice new sharp sheet of paper. Then 80 grit to finish. Here's a good video on sanding filler and getting it straight every time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKeTpnVjj9ulfNE

[@blackenigma1054]

so let me ask you, great video by the way…..so how do you tell the difference in what you just showed us and someone just filling the dent with filler and just sanding it even and just painting it?

[@LakesideAutobody]

Good question. This dent would not be able to be just filled, sanded and painted. The high areas around the dent would show through the paint. You could just tap those high spots down (distorted metal that looks weird from the accident) to make sure they are low and fill but that is sort of cheating. Although I've done it plenty of times :) In the end, if the guy is good, you can't tell I one pulled the dent or not :)

[@dronetrucker]

Thoughts on jacko frame pulling machine, it looks decent

[@LakesideAutobody]

I think it would be a great choice - it's been around for years I believe. I'd order the foot pump though :)
