Default anyone hammered out dents on their bumpers before?

I got the corner of my bumper cover scrunched.....I just want to straighten it out. Dont care about the cosmetics of it since I use it to go into construction sites everyday. I was goig to get a rubber mallet and start tapping it out. Any experiences?

I used a propane torch to warm the plastic from the inside before using a large broomstick and hammer to drive the dent out. It wasn't a perfect repair, but a huge improvement.

good luck
