I really enjoyed your relationship with your family. These are your" Days of Wine and Glory," so enjoy.
Solid pulls need the 6-C method. When that fails I will come back and watch this again!
I have some small acorn dents on the top and hood of my 91 Dodge Stealth that I plan on trying to pull out. This is the best tutorial on YT. Thank you, sir.
Thanks for the tips!!
Eduardo.
Very clear and professional.
This is great thank you.
I started to fast forward some parts but was compelled to come back because there are so many valuable lessons here
Thanks for watching, Carl!

Great tips!!! Thanks from Melbourne Australia
Best video ive seen on this subject 👏 . Thanx for sharing
Great video lesson
I love this job
Very informative !
I wish i had started with this video! much better than the 15 other videos I watched.
Nice and good advice training. Looking forward another training... thanks for this sharing. Stay safe.
Thanks for watching!
Great channel, glad I found you. 🎃
Hey thanks great video love it
Thx Gene
Great info, I do a lot of Sprinter vans, most of my PDR is Glue Pulling, when I have adhesion problems almost all the time compound clean then 91% isopropyl alcohol, takes care of the problem, also I work a night and the panels get cold that causes adhesion problems, warm up the panels put the glue and tab on a warm panel, wait about 1-3 minutes then pull.
IAM still learning more about pdr self taught I also found the Stanley glue sticks are good
Excellent
Great video. Super informative. 🦾
Nice job, one of the best training vids I saw on glue pulling. Thank you.
Awesome, thank you!
gday from Aussie. Very informative
Nice video where do I get all your tools?
Amazing video! You have so much knowledge and I heard that the tab needs to overlap the dent on aluminum. Is that true?
Hi brilliant video so much info, just wanted to ask you about the green glue and the grey tab weld. In what situation would you use one and not the other as I’m thinking about getting them both but not sure whether I should just get the grey tab weld, I know you said the grey tab weld sets faster but is that the only difference?
Thanks for your help Steve
THANK YOU YOU ANDWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS I DIDNT EVEN ASK. AMAZING
Thank you, fixed my problems! Needed to heat the metal up enough to get rid of moisture. Also I was letting the glue get to cold. HUGE DIFFERENCE!
Me too
Where can I get a list of glues and what temp they work best in and humidity
I've just purchased a dent pulling kit. The dent is about 5 inches long 2 inches wide. Is this too large to repair with this method? Great video!!!!
Great explains please do a vid on using the PDR lights how to use how to read dents and crowns properly , thank you very much
Thanks for the recommendation, Tim. We will be creating as many new videos as possible and lighting is certainly one that we will be addressing in the future.
No, do a video on a custom prototype fabricated rocketship.. please. And please do it properly.. and please explain it.
Great info thank you
Thanks for watching!
Will this wotk on flat paint
What do you think about aluminum tabs?
Hey Dude thank you I believe you have helped me get bigger pulls. I was told if they wear not sticking to sand them can they be fixed if I did sand them. Or just get new tabs? Thank you for your time Brian
Smooth surfaces = strong pulls. We do not recommend sanding them. However, if the surface of the tab is scuffed and not smooth due to repeated use, you can refinish the surface to create a smooth surface again. This will increase the strength of your pulls.
If my days about 80° out do I have to heat it first
Chris's from TX is in
What can I do if I do not have a thermometer to test the temperature of pour hot water on the den, clean it with the 99% and then pull
cold glue=only with metal tabs?
Thanks, halp a lot 👍
Thanks for watching!
Hope you guys are staying safe over there.. here in North Australia everything is around 86 and higher do I have to cool the panel down? How would you suggest
You can cool the panel down, if you need to. You can use a compressed air line to blow cool air over the tab once you adhere it. We also recommend using the Tabweld grey glue for higher ambient temperatures. It is able to set up in higher temperature ranges.
@@KECOBodyRepairProducts Do you have any portable suggestions for mobile techs?
are all glues the same quality
My glue sticks to the panel no problem but not on the tabs. I’ve cleaned em. And even scuffed em they will not pull at all. It the 5mm dead on dent ice
How to pull plastic can't use heat gun??
"Control" should be on the C- card
I have a big deep dent on my liftgate of kia rondo 08.it seems the steel is very hard. Is it possible to use glue tab to pull the dent.
It is possible. Without seeing the actual dent and understanding the OEM repair procedures, we cannot say for sure it can be repaired.
what size tab should you use?
You should use the largest tab you can fit within the damage. If you use a dark blue tab, you can oversize the tab even more due to the flexibility. The larger the tab that you can use, the stronger the pull will be.
WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO GIVE ESTIMATES
I use a Insurance estimating matrix. For one, it's good for the tech, prices are good for us and them...also for lot repairs or repairs done for public for self pay, the matrix would show what they would be paying if you were not such a nice guy
my kit came with two color glue sticks,dark and light ,which to use first and why?
Both glues can be used for strong pulls. The light colored (yellow bag) is more flexible and can be used for larger, more complex damage. It will set up slightly slower than the dark glue (grey bag). The darker, grey glue is more rigid and will shine when you are pulling lighter, smaller, simpler damage. The grey glue with set up slightly faster.
Surely there are some better glues out there that will just stick no matter what and come off with some IPA?
Can i use detached ochohol with a paper towell
We recommend using a microfiber cloth. When using a paper towel, fibers from the paper towel may want to stick to the panel which could possibly compromise the adhesion of your tab.
Denatured vs isopropyl alcohol?
You will definitely get better results using 99% alcohol
so today, it was 95 outside, once the temp passed 90 degrees, it was like the glue never dried. tab just pulled off the glue and left residue, no matter the time waited. Anybody know a glue that works at 95 degrees ambient?
Red hot Chile is what you need....on keco website
@@jessemartinez6781 their only review says the red chile wont hold in 85 degrees with 70% humidity. if that is the case, they will never work in florda except in january. It is too bad KECO does not provide detailed specifications on their glue. it's really a failure on their part to not provide exact specifications on the glue.
Allen, we recommend using the Tabweld grey glue in higher temperature situations.
Will 91% alcohol work? I can’t seem to find 99%. Fantastic video. Thank you.
91% isopropyl will work for getting most small tabs to release, but it may be hard to get larger tabs to release using 91%
Just a reminder-Rubbing alcohol has mineral oil in it and it's NOT what you want to use..I used to make that mistake. You want pure isopropyl alcohol..
Ever pull stainless steel?
Yes, we repair stainless steel regularly. Make sure you use the properly sized tab. If you are pulling on bare metal, finish the surface to 800 grit or higher for a smooth surface and clean the panel as you would if it were clear coat. The smooth surface will allow a strong pull.
Why does my glue stay and tab pulls off? Then I catch heck getting the glue off the car
Well you answered my question in this video!😂😂😂
It was 41° outside when I was pulling, so yeah.
I've been boggled by this temperature specific glue gimmick for a while. It doesn't matter what the ambient temperature is. If the paint isn't plyable and the surface isn't up to temp, you lost your profit and turned paintless dent repair into new paint dent repair no matter how cold out and what glue you used.
Help 🙄
Cheap Hot melt glue form the dollar shop Will not work
Don't use cheap glue sticks from the dollar Shop 😊😊
I have followed these directions to a t. For some reason I cannot get my tabs to stick to the glue the glue sticks to the car plenty good but I'm always pulling the tabs off the glue and believe me I've tried it sooner later in between and I just can't get a good pull.
