It's time consuming but necessary.

The surface you are pounding against needs to be smoother than the part you are working on. Polish your anvil to the point you can see your face in it.
exactly the tutorial I needed. thanks!

I’m glad it helped.
Suggestion:: the surface of that anvil is pretty rough, you're transferring some of that roughness to your trim with every blow. When working on polished surfaces, try to use polished hammers and dollies(etc) if possible.

You make an excellent point. I’m using the back of my bench vise, I need to dress it up or buy a small anvil. At a minimum I could mount a body dolly in the vise and use that. Thanks for the tip.
The rounded end of an old push rod looks like it would work nice too

Great idea! the goal is to match the profile of the trim you're repairing, so a more rounded trim could use the push rod.
do you think heating it would help?

I don't think so. The trim is thin enough that light taps push the metal just enough without distorting it. Heating it might make it too soft.
