Title: ok! need a little help
Post by: Panic mechanic! on May 19, 2011, 05:56:48 PM
got to pull a dent out from a door skin, so I need a way of sticking some metal to metal,without spot welding it, whats a strong quick drying metal glue?
I was looking at getting a second hand stud welder but for the use i would get out of it, its still expensive!

theres always the type of puller with self tapper on the end, just a spot with a mig after to fill the small hole thats left

I was thinking of using one of them but was just looking to see if there was an easier way, I have seen the plastic stick on pullers but doubt they would be strong enough for the dent thats there.

there are some suction pullers out there but they need a strong compressor

How big a dent bud?

You could try one of the paintless repair companies that advertise.  A guy at work had one come out and fix a dent in the door of his Civic.   right on a panel line, and you can hardly see it was there.  Only cost him about £60 I think.

You tried taking off the door card and hitting it from the inside
