Learn PDR Online - The Basic Principles Of PDR.
In this video, we cover the difference between a high spot and a low spot using a lined reflection board to show the detail. We teach paintless dent removal training online with free downloads and video tutorials for beginners.

I am just starting out in PDR and OMG, this just explained all my questions that many videos didn't answer.
When I watched other videos they said you'll notice this high and this low, and I was like ???????????? All I saw was curved lines.
In this video you showed me and explained how to actually read the board.
Now I am going to other PDR training videos and can actually determine high or low.
Thank you so much, you are going to make me a fortune. (Subscribed/ liked)
FYI - I also learned from "Zan Vidic - The difference between high spot and low spot | PDR Training | Dent repair" ( basically no board).
Thank you I am so pleased my video helped explain highs and lows, its understanding the very basic skills fully that is the key to building your knowledge and experience as a PDR tech. I've never met Zan but I know he is highly regarded and has a lot to offer the PDR industry. The more PDR techs you can learn from the broader your knowledge and understanding. Keep pushing for perfection!
Congrats , finally some one who shows a outward dent . 99.9 % show inward dent repair .
Yes and in my experience I spend more time tapping down than I do pushing. Definitely need to learn both to develop those PDR skills. Thanks
you get outward dent in the process of pushing out a dent, need to correct it since you cant see the area you are pressing on from the back. You are creating the outward dent on purpose in a way.
Great video demonstration job 👍

Good work and. It’s possible tell me what tools suitable to begin thanks
Thank you, check out this video where I discuss tools for getting started - ua-cam.com/video/ImLu9Lk2qCo/v-deo.htmlsi=Q74K4_IvipJS6E7r
nice video ~
The technique you use for the knock down , it's not like hitting a nail with a hammer right.. How would you explain it?
That's a great question, the overview is similar in the way you hold the hammer and the nail but how hard you hit the knock down and in which direction is dependant on the dent itself, with a nail you are just trying to hit it straight on and you knock it in as far as you need. Tapping down is quite varied and is one of the most important parts to learn in the PDR process, with a large soft high spot for example you are gently moving the metal back to its original form so you are constantly reading the damage after each strike and adjusting accordingly in both pressure and direction as to how far you are pushing the metal back in and which direction you want the metal to flow into where as with small high spots typically those caused by tool tips you are trying to hit a very precise spot on the peak of the high and almost flatten the high. It varies depending on the high you are trying to remove, I hope that makes sense.

on the low dent , can you tap from the backside if you have access and enough room?
Good question, in my experience I would avoid the temptation to tap out from the inside, I have done this occasion but it is so easy to fracture the paint this way and very difficult to control. When pushing from behind you can increase and decrease the force applied where as with the tap, once you see the area you have lifted it may be too late. it does depend on the damage of course and what tools you are using but just in my experience, its gone wrong more often than its gone right :)

I appreciate the response. I am finally understanding the science behind crown location and tapping.
I'll subscribe for sure ,
Please give me your insight on a credit card crease on a 1/4 panel , 2.5 inch in length.
Would you suggest using a glue gun tab technique followed by a tap down?
Or , is it possible to knock down a crease dent just by tap downs?
@@reza_dc2 It really depends on the damage, without seeing it in person hard to say but generally if i can get behind a dent my preference is usually to remove with rods and tapping down, if no access then yes glue pull with a crease tab and tapping down/blending. occasionally we see a crown that is light enough that it can be tapped down to level out the low with out any pushing or pulling but this is rare. generally there will be a mix of pulling, pushing and tapping...
Learn PDR Online I appreciate the insight. Going to sub your channel. In regards to the push rods.. your not actually using the tip of the rod , just the side of the rod .. I’m assuming if you use the tip , you could actually create a high point ..
RZA77 it depends on the dent and the tips I am using at the time, but most of the time I am using the tip to push with not the side of the rod, with the correct tip and correct amount of pressure you shouldn’t create ‘unintentional highs’ in other words sometimes I bring a repair slightly high in purpose to tap it down but if you are creating lots of high spots either the tip is too sharp or there is some tension in the damage eg. a crown, that needs to be released first to enable the metal to flow 👍🏻
