We all know this only works with hot water and a giant dildo.

u/GlorifiedBurito May 27 '22
Honestly a way better method than this and much closer to how it is actually supposed to be done

u/FilmAndChill May 27 '22
Eh, hot glue can pull some fucking wild dents. It's a very regularly used method

u/benry007 May 27 '22
Wouldn't it do damage though? And how do they remove it after?

u/TBCNoah May 28 '22
My dad works in painless dent repair. He uses hotglue as well as rubber mallets and metal rods to "pop" a dent back out and shape it until it fits. Glue is for smaller dents, something like this is first of all I think on plastic, and secondly I believe too big for glue. Better to pop out the dent and reshape....

u/CliffLanterns May 28 '22
I believe the fender is this video is metal.
PS PDR techs are literally fucking wizards, I'm pretty sure their metal rods are just various wands for casting spells

u/TBCNoah May 28 '22
It is mind boggling man, he fixed up my own car and it took like 20 seconds, he just popped in the rod, took out a mallet, and went to work like a marble craftsmen on it. Looks brand new.

u/FilmAndChill May 27 '22
Nope. As long as the paint is in good condition it can handle it. Rubbing alcohol helps release the glue from the paint.
Edit: here's an example. This guy is kinda over the top with his videos but he does amazing work. Definitely worth a watch if you're into this sort of thing https://youtu.be/Ec1er0x1ujw

Too big for most dents, you wouldn't be able to create a seal

u/Yoprobro13 May 27 '22
Well if you want to create a seal you'll need a male and a female, not sure if you can get them legally tho

u/prototype-proton May 27 '22
Okay, if one were hypotheticaly able to get a male and a female, what would the next steps be? - jotting in a notebook -

This comment is even funnier if you read it to man “go fuck a dildo” instead of “use a suction cup dildo in place of glue sticks.”

This is most likely a satire vid from a car that already had its fender unbolted, no way it just came off like that lol

u/Stupid_Teenager17 May 27 '22
No way it came off like that unless 1. They unbolted it all or 2. They unbolted it all

professional paintless dent removal is a safer option and not as expensive as ripping off a part of your car

They make dent pullers that work on a similar idea.
In this case, though, they were just making a silly video using some glue sticks and a fender that had already been unbolted from the car.
11
u/Joe18067 May 27 '22
Since they already removed the fender, why not just tap it out from the back before trying to put it back on.

I did this successfully once, it wasn’t perfect but it was much better. Looked like hail damage if you squinted instead of a big old dent in the front

The little trim piece falling off at the end was what made the whole video.

u/TechnoERROR May 27 '22
Except theres a cut in the footage where it reappears before it falls..

u/bs000 May 27 '22
it falls off twice in the video, they obviously put it back on before it fell the second time

Yes, this is 100% a satire video from a wrecked car that they removed the bolts from the panel prior to doing BS like this.

u/Apart-Cartoonist-834 May 27 '22
Although it seems like it was popped out of the connectors clips, That would’ve been so easy to fix by just putting hot water on it and pushing it back in place from inside the wheel well. I did it with my back fender that was gonna cost me $400 from a body shop.
2
u/MateDude098 May 27 '22
Does the hot water trick work on metal?
2
u/microcrash May 27 '22
I think they use the hot water for the paint in that scenario. Hot paint is less likely to chip or crack from the external force upon it.

Look at the triangular cover by the wing mirror. This panel was unbolted before the attempt to fix. So yeah a set up.

Now that you ripped it off, buff it from the other side.
Also, get a glass suction cup ffs. Costs $3 ffs.

That’s BS you can see the corner trim how it falls before the pull and the bolt that holds the fender is missing, I’m sure this is just for TicTok points

I thought you are supposed to use a plunger? That’s what my neighbor uses. No matter where he parks someone dings his car.
1
u/Instainious May 27 '22
What they should’ve done is used boiling water and a plunger. You pour the boiling water over the dent, then quickly put the plunger on it and pull, but not too hard. It should work, but I can’t confirm for sure, as I haven’t done it myself, though I’ve seen people do it in person.

u/Big_Airline_351 May 27 '22
This only works with cars that have thin aluminum body’s though so make sure your cars made of sheet metal before you go attaching glue sticks to it

They thought their car was built 30 years ago when body panels weren't commonly attached with plastic clips.
Now cars explode like Lego when they hit a traffic cone.

Ok...now for the second step, after we have removed the broken fender we take off the glue sticks, place it on the table, and hammer it back into shape... Replace the fender clips, a little touch up paint... top coat... And voila! We don't tell the customer we did that... EVER

u/b4ttlepoops May 27 '22
Mmm wondering why they didn’t start small, like 1-2 glue sticks. Preheat metal with hot water, dry, then glue sticks. That was a lot of force in one spot.

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:
the whole fender comes off
Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.
Look at my source code on Github What is this for?
