Default Have anyone ever tried this method for dent repair?

I hope I'm in the right section. But I came across this on youtube, and I was just wondering if anyone tried this technique. Feedback would be great, because I think I might want to try also but looks silly. Help me out.

My friend told me about this method, but I thought he was crazy.

I figure we have nothing to lose, so I should be putting it to the test fairly soon

I've tried it with little result. Perhaps mine weren't shallow enough?

its called heat shrinking

heat the area then quickly cool it down. the metal contracts a little.. in this case it was enough that the dent popped itself out

this method can work but only on certain dents..
