[General] Paintless dent puller

[Dayvo]

After getting some quotes to remove some small dents from my commodore ranging from $50 to $75 per dent I decided to make my own dent puller . Picture 1 You will need a hot melt glue gun , a dent puller , some suction cups and a threaded hook.
Picture 2 take off the dent puller extension and slide a small nut inside and screw on the hook then screw attachment back onto the puller
Picture 3 shows the suction cup in place .
remove the suction cup from puller and put some hotmelt on it and stick it to the panel over the dent . Make sure that all traces of polish is removed from around the dent or the glue will not stick . don't worry , the hot melt will not damage the paint. let the glue set for about 10 minutes then attach the puller to the suction cup and start pulling the dent out . Don't be scared to use a fair bit of force as it takes a bit of pulling to pop them out . One word or caution , don't attempt to do this on a panel that has body filler on it as it will pull the filler out . One problem that i did encounter was that the suction cup will split where the hook goes through so you will need a few of them . I bought a pack of 6 from Bunnings for 2 bucks .If anyone can think of s better setup let me know . I pulled out 2 dents and used all 6 suction cups

lol yeah the first thing I thought of when I saw the pic is that the suction cap will break where the hook goes through.

How did you get the hot melt glue off the paint once you were done?

Do you have any before and after pics?

I've got a few carpark dings down the sides of my ute, I may give this a try.

would this work if i were to use a plunger and hot glue. im thinking the plunger as im trying to remove a larger dent???

[Dayvo]

Can you get to the dent from the inside of the panel?
