Your definition of "Stretched" and mine are very, very different. What you are showing here is not "Stretched" by the old school definition. In order to be legitimately stretched, the metal has to be pulled beyond it elasticity. If you can straighten this without using heat shrinking, or at least a shrinking hammer, its not "Stretched" It just needs some stress reliving to get it to go back home. And by heat, I mean real heat. Circle the torch to the stretch, as soon as the metal glows you tap with the shrinking hammer and finish the shrinking by rapidly cooling with a wet rag....the paint will be burnt off. Real stretched metal cannot be PDRed. All that said, I think you did a really nice job on this one. I see PDR as the ultimate refinement of old school metal finishing. I am learning a lot on the subject from your channel.

@metaldent6939

Жыл бұрын

Exactly, I'm a 20-year veteran PDR tech and this was 100% NOT stretched (no offense intended to the the video creator, it just factually isn't elongated, which is what would happen to the metal if it was stretched). As you said, a truly stretched dent cannot be PDR'd normally (without heat / induction etc). Having said all that, it WAS a VERY SHARP dent ... and the repair was certainly very good.

Auction speak louder than words

can something as deep or even deeper ( hit by 5mm round bar its 3-4mm deep and 15mm diameter ) be done with glue pulling? its in the arch above the door so no access

All the pushes we're done within the area of a pencil eraser in the stretched impact area and VERY connected. I don't use patterns like spirals, I adjust my board properly so I can see detail at the impact point of the dent and I let the reflection shows me where to push next. Having the right reflection and adjusting it properly is key on these otherwise your just guessing where to push and that won't work on a repair like this.

@TopGunPDRTraining

6 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately adjusting a reflection, and finding the right reflection for you is very unique to each tech and is something that can't be shown on a video or even explained. It has to be shown first hand. It's not uncommon for long time PDR techs to be using the wrong reflection for them and not adjusting it properly for their eyes. Everyone is different and you can't even begin to show all the different reflections and adjustments that may be needed. Sometimes it can take 2-3 hours during training for me to dial a tech into the right reflection and adjustment for them. Too bad we all don't see visual information exactly the same way, it would make PDR much easier LOL.

I'm no expert but isn't using heat on needle tip or bare steel tip behind the panel will poke the paint? What I've noticed, using heat only on rubber or covered tip so easier to move the metal. And don't use heat when using bare needle tip without any cover so it won't poke the paint 🤔

That dent was very stretched. Using heat is always better with sharp tips. Also paint won't crack nearly as easy with heat.

I don't understand how a needle tip tool is used to gather up the stretched metal because you never show what you're doing underneath, you're only showing the results from the side you're observing.

@TopGunPDRTraining

6 жыл бұрын

Thats why I do the theory and diagram part on the white board at the beginning. You wouldn't be able to see the tip underneath because my fingers have to be right on the tip and it would block the camera. The camera would only show the pushes not the metal gathering up from the back. It's best seen by the camera from the side you see. There is no way to see metal gathering up well because the changes are so small.

Ok I accept that now you've explained the limitations of filming, only can you elaborate more with your diagram what you mean about 'gathering-up'?

The best way to unstretch the metal is to do the reverse which is pretty much what this video shows, a sharp strike from the top requires a sharp push from the bottom, otherwise a wide tip will never pinpoint the stretched metal. Slowly but surely that metal gets unstretched

Watching a man do the repair within 20 minutes... Asks local dent repair shop for similar (slightly bigger, but overall similar) work and cost/time... gets told "2 days"... 😂 I mean yeah sure, not all jobs are similar and some could take longer. But c'mon... 2 days and the dent is on the lower part of the rear door so should be accessible when removing the interior panel. 2 days. I don't buy it, and I didn't.

I don't know what to tell you then. Any good tech has to put his fingers next to the tool tip to get good control. At. the end I do take my fingers away from the tip for a few pushes to show what it looks like. I'm not hiding anything but as I say in the video there isn't much to see as the pushes are extremely connected and they TOTALLY depend on what you see in the reflection NOT what you see from the back. The reflection controls EVERYTYHING and no video can show the detail you need to see, you have to see it live many times before it clicks. Thats why I say so often you cant learn PDR rom the beginning by video. You can learn more advanced concepts from video though and thats what these videos are about.

Your drama about how VERY this and how LOT that. And it would be BAD if this, or NOT WORK if that. These types of comments are a distraction from the technical points. It feels like trade school soap opera.
