Fixing a car dent with compressed air.

Might be old news but it was new to me. Obviously won't work on all dents but still pretty cool.

That's a new one on me!

Pretty amazing.

Wow

Doesn't work on curves like the top of a fender or if there is a crease in the metal. Other than that it should work.

Old school metal working. They used massive torches and wet mops to flatten panels after welding.
Neat trick though

To be clear since there is no explanation.... hair dryer or heat gun (careful to not ruin paint) and then can of compressed air HELD UPSIDE DOWN so that gas super chills air. Apparently 'tapping' around the edges after/during chilling can help. The heating/expansion and sudden contraction from cooling 'pop' the dent back out.
Hope I never need to try it but good to know.

I'll have to remember that
