Chris, you do such a nice job massaging the metal that it looks good enough to fill with just filler primer! Your videos always motivate me to go out and work on my own projects. Thanks!
Been working a lot on improving my skills at using heat to lift dents - I use glue-pulling (mechanical) & a spotter all the time, but last couple weeks I've been experimenting with using a map gas torch & an airline. With a little practice, the results you can get with just those 2 tools is pretty impressive. It's the absolute ideal technique for repairing oil-canning & even very deep dents you would never imagine would lift using heat. Gist - well my "Version" is you heat the periphery of the dent lightly, then focus the flame right in the middle for 4-5 seconds, then blast the center with the air blow-gun. You will see massive "lift" immediately as the steel shrinks. From there it's just dialling in your technique until you can approach even the bigger dents with confidence & get them back to a flat & taught panel using just this technique. I've repaired some pretty gnarly stuff using just the gas-torch & airline - once you get proficient at this technique, it can do some amazing stuff without having any access to the backside of the damage.
Good stuff! I most used heat shrinking if I have a problem with stretched metal. I'm intrested in the skills you're developing sound worth investing! Appreciate the comment and support!
@@GarageNoise Man, it never "Clicked" in my head till I had a customers car in last week with a deep dent I couldn't get to the back of - I started wondering "What if?" - and damn, it worked. Heat & air - I only tried it as heat & water were getting on my nerves wetting up my nice clean floor. Air works better.
@@GarageNoise Love the Channel - always learning stuff from you. Happy to share some stuff I learnt to reciprocate. One hand washes the other. Bodywork pays our bills, so if i'm doing it, it works. :-)
@@jamesward5721 Now I have used heat for aluminum, the dent pops out even small ones you can even do it without damaging paint sometimes. Too hot and it will melt it tho.
Chris i love your channel . Brought myself a 2012 Dodge Charger RT back in January with a blown engine . Needs a little bodywork , especially on both fenders. The repairs needed are in the same spot as the new video you just released. Thanks for all you do .
Appreciate that! I've seen your channel before haven't really had a good chance to check it out but I'm a subscriber . I just noticed that video on getting hacked, what a scary deal. Appreciate the kind words brother keep up the good work!
Great video! I have the same machine and it works great. I have never used to shrink metal, I’ll try that out also, thanks. I added a magnet to my ground so it stays in the correct area.
Amazing work as always Chris, I love watching you do these repairs as you make it look so easy but I know it isn't as you see people replace a panel like this rather than fixing it which is such a waste👏👍John UK
Get them cheap once thrown out or get one from a wrecker at substantial diacount and sell for full price after paint and repair then your profot on parts will increase making your labour bill look less. People seem to be happy to pay the parts cost but not the skill to paint and install it properly.
Quick question, is there any precautionary steps to take before welding onto a vehicle such as disconnecting the battery? I’m afraid I might fry a module or pop some fuses. Thanks
@@GarageNoise U know what? I am the producer of this product (from the other half of the planet), I came across your video, I was very surprised, but you operate very well, because the machine is one thing, your operation skills are more critical.
Hey Chris, I ended up purchasing this a few months ago and I love it. I’ve done a few jobs with it and it’s worked like a charm, until I got asked to fix a hood that was made of aluminum lol. Any tips on how to make the G90e work properly on aluminum?
This weekend I painted a fender that I had repaired. I blocked out the high build primer to 600gr. The repair looked good. I decided to spray an epoxy sealer first before laying down the base coat. The sealer must have been not thinned down enough or the air pressure was wrong. The sealer came out thick and had orange peel. I only spray the repair area. I should have stopped, however I layer down the base and clear. Now I can see the orange peel under the base. What would you do to correct this issue. Thank you for your time Sir
It's hard to say without seeing it. I would try to wet sand and buff if your not happy after that then scuff with 600 and base and clear it again. Hope this helps appreciate the support!
I think you are right, that is the answer. Block the clear flat then the base will lay flat, then clear again. I can see that now. It is going to get warmer starting next week. I will prep and get ready. Thank you, that helped.
I am considering the G90e for my home shop. In one of the original videos you had swapped out the ground provided with the tool with a magnetic ground. In this video it looks like you went back to the original ground. What made you decide to go back?
My g90 arrived. I am liking it for fine tuning, after using glue tabs for the bigger pulls. I think any of the negative reviews are people expecting too much out of it. Keep up the good work.
It was close, but when replacing the fender you have the additional cost of blending into the door and hood plus removing all the trim associated with those panels.
This dude is the dent master! Least amount of mud used for sure 😎
👍Thank's brother!

👍appreciate the support, I had a magnetic ground and it fell apart.I need to order another.
I love the channel, you have been a great help with my projects, awesome tool!! Thank you sir
Appreciate the comment! Thank's for your support!
Chris you do really good work. Good video to learn from
Thank's Dennis appreciate the support!
Excellent video from start to finish cheers.

As a precaution, I like to disconnect battery.
Good machine and skilled master.
Thanks 👍

Great video!! Do you think this machine would pull out dents in older vehicles with thicker guage steel?
I am considering the G90e for my home shop. In one of the original videos you had swapped out the ground provided with the tool with a magnetic ground. In this video it looks like you went back to the original ground. What made you decide to go back?
The other one broke. I have a new one now I like very much.amzn.to/3ycJlTS

Where do you buy more of the stubs the triangle ones and others for it just bought a g90e used but didn’t come with any but one
Appreciate if u would demo a shrink video. Ty
👍👊
Chris, would it have been faster and therefore less expensive to have obtained a used fender?
It was close, but when replacing the fender you have the additional cost of blending into the door and hood plus removing all the trim associated with those panels.
@@GarageNoise That’s true. Now you only have to blend into the existing fender.
Thanks, Chris!
How do you pull out dents on aluminum panels?
I have one cant get it to stick anuff to get a good pull
will this machine do aluminum body?
No it will not.
@@GarageNoisethanks for reply,,,,
What is the cost of a repair like this typically?
About a 4 hr dent . 180 to remove dent
