Repair I did for a friend.
So I seen dent discount do this glue a board to keep it from blowing out.i was told it was unnecessary because bottom wasn’t bent but why take the chance. Did it all with a double bend soft tip from ultra dent .i spent 8 hours on it..After doing it I think I should have started with glue instead of pushing while hitting the crowns to get it to release.Next time I’ll try to get pics ahead of time to get some direction from the group.Live to hear how you would attack this.

I have a chubby big light but I thought it was only good for hail to see big spaces.i was totally wrong.when looking north and south those lights are what’s up..I’m learning a little each one.im a get some bigger casters for it so if im outside it wont be such a hassle to move around.a experienced tech might have made that elimadent light work but that curved surface was a serious challenge with the light.i have training with dean tomorrow .i’ll bring it up and post his advice.

Well my first job was a success! The customer was absolutely thrilled with it. I’ve been feeling so good all day today. I’ll admit I was so nervous when I started it. Now for the reality check. It took me 9 hours to complete. That wasn’t a problem because I was not put on a time limit but a real tech could probably do it in an hour. Also I’m still having so much trouble finding the rod tip when I’m pushing and causing more work for myself. I took one of the ideas Coach Dean gave us and cleaned & waxed the whole car before returning it. They were very happy with that. So I have a long way to go on my journey but today was definitely a win and I will sleep well tonight and get right back to practicing tomorrow!!

@Steven Arzapalo that tap down game has to be on point for that.

Harder than pushing in my opinion. That’s a huge strength if that comes easy.
Monday not so funny day
This week's repair at the body shop Since I started PDR I included GPR to my traditional repair process and it makes things way easier Not saying that's an easy repair at all it is a pain but it's way more efficient to work with glue than welding some plates to realign that rear quarter Got the most out of it with glue and just a bit of pushing and now it is sadly time to switch to weld gun, shrinking etc. .😑

I like that your doing things hybrid PDR and traditional.Most body men look at glue pulling as a joke.i am a combo guy learning PDR so much respect to you making the time to learn a new trade..
Last 10%
Finishing a dent is absolutely the hardest part for me. That last low spot when looking at it with the light far away. Or even the last subtle highs that need to be knocked down just right 😮‍💨

@Bruce Trites the natural light is what Sal Contreras recommends using.Smart to identify them and then use light to see why you weren’t able to see before.the habit of pulling the light back is one I overlook a lot.

@Steven Arzapalo I totally agree.
Mini lifter
This Dentcraft lifter is $140.00. Does anyone think that there is a big difference between this and my $50.00 lifter or are they charging more for the brand?
