umm your wrong.. metal (as well as plastic) has a certain "memory" of what its previous shape, just like if you push on a roof of a car, it bends in, but will go back to its original shape.. as someone said, the heat expands the metal (or plastic) causing it to begin to go back to its original shape, then the rapid change in temperature contracts the metal back to its original shape (or close to it ) but it would only work on large panels with large dents.. make sense?

That would require a lot of heat for metal, though. That's why he's saying you can't unstretch it. Sure you can melt it and reform it, but if you've stretched metal inward, it'll either pop back in or stick out when you pull it.

Re: (sup gurl)
I think it's more a matter of knowing what heat and carbon dioxide can do. Then just putting it to use. Smart. I'm definately trying this. I wonder about small dings though. I have a big dent on my hood that this technique should take care of. If I can only find something for small dings it would save me hundreds of dollars at a body shop.

yea its true. anyone that has done some bodywork knows that metal does indeed have a memory. this will work on large single point dings on metal. the same effect can be done wit a heatgun and wooden block applied wit force behind the ding. its the first time i seen it done wit a duster can tho. but its basically doing the same thing.

It's simple physics, really. If you heat the metal, it's going to expand. Rapidly cooling the area surrounding the dent, will cause that metal to shrink faster than the dented area, causing the pliable metal that is in the dented area to fill in the gap. It all depends on the surface tension, though. If you try it on more curved surfaces, the results won't be so easy to get, due to the curved surface.

Re: (1BOMEK)
one time i didnt even apply heat and did it to a plastic bumper just stuck a 2x4 in there and moved it back
my autoteacher basically took a fubard bumper once left it in the sun all day and somethimes mesed with it and got it back into shape

Re: (Honda_Accord)
I will go try this on a non-salvageable spare fender tommorow as soon as I pick up a duster. Also, I have seen a similar video but using dry ice.
