Hot glue type dent pullers- anyone tried em?

[Uncle Jimmy]

Happened on a couple of YouTube vids of hot glue type dent pullers in action. I have a couple of small dents on the Ovlov I'd like to tackle. Anyone got any experience of the system?

I've seen some el cheapo kits on eBay; worth buying or get something better?

My bodywork fixing guy uses glue on pullers. You need a special glue and a special solvent to remove them. He got a dent out of swmbos freelander door quite well and the paint was undamaged.

Used one years ago (made by 'King' I think - cheapie from eBay) on a bike petrol tank. Bike tanks are made of much thicker metal than car body panels... It worked really well! Scared the poo out of me as it was a newly repaired/resprayed tank just back from 'Dream machine' that got a fair sized dent due to carelessness on the part of a friend who was desperate to see/fondle/drool all over it - twat!

 

I was very worried that it would damage the paint or pull it off, but it was fine.

I have used a couple of eBay specials. They are good on medium sized dents but didn't work well on really small ones - no surprise I suppose. Obviously won't be perfect if the metal is creased but they do get the worst out.

Sounds like the professional kit that uses some kind of epoxy resin. The cheapo DIYers come with a hot glue gun and some glue sticks. The dents on my Swede are small...like someone poked it with a broom handle.
