I've seen it doen with a heat gun and ice. You basically expand the metal then instant cool it which causes shrinkage casuing the dent to pop out. Won't work the best though if there is a crease. It kind of works like Peter getting out of a warm hottub and then running through the snow to the house....things shrink up really fast

you really love me, just admit it!!!Posted: Sun May 13, 2007 4:56 pm
I dunno, Blazer. I have it on good authority (Al and Roswell) that Peter doesn't have to run through the snow to achieve that state.

I was going to try this today, but couldn't find the spray they use. I used to be able to find it all over, but not any longer. Walmart has a device that uses CO2 cartidges but I am not too sure about spaying liquid CO2 on my van

Same thing, bud. As long as the liquid being sprayed is freezing cold and non-corrosive, you should be fine. Heck, Butane'd work fine too, 'specially with a lit cigarette hanging from your lip

Just get a can of compressed air used to clean off keyboards, etc. Turn it upside down when spraying and it will do the same thing. Most office supply stores or maybe Wally world will carry it.Rileysowner wrote:I was going to try this today, but couldn't find the spray they use.

I couldn't find it at walmart or the other places I looked. All Walmart had was the device that uses those little co2 cartidges. That is what they now sell to clean keyboards. It also has the warnings about turning it upside down, but as I mentioned spraying actual liquid co2 on the van somewhat concerns me. I will have to keep looking though.
