Default Quick Q...

I recently heard that if you have a small dent you can use a can of comp. air and spray it on the dent for a few seconds (with the can upside down) then take a hair dryer and blow it on the dent right afterwords and the dent will pop out.
Anyone tried this/know if it works?

I'e seen some vids on youtube where that actually worked, but don't count on it. Usually it'll take more than that to pop out a dent if the metal is stretched.

It usually has to be a pretty big dent. Anything that is creased (dent were you can see a crease) won't come out. The hotter you can get the area and the colder the substance you use, will yeild better results. Your basically expanding the metal and then quenching it really quick hoping it will contract enough to "pop" the dent out.
