Operating Instructions

General Paintless Dent Removal Process

  1. Clean the surface of the object to be bonded thoroughly.
  2. Apply melted glue onto the chosen pull tab.
  3. Quickly stick the tab into the center of the dent and hold for 2-3 minutes to allow the glue to set.
  4. Attach the appropriate pulling tool (T-puller, Dent Lifter, or Bridge Puller) to the tab.
  5. Carefully pull the dent out. For the Dent Lifter, hold the handle repeatedly until the dent is removed. For the T-puller, slide the hammer weight. For the Bridge Puller, slowly turn the knob.
  6. Once the dent is removed, spray high-concentration alcohol to dissolve the glue.
  7. Use the yellow plastic shovel and rag to remove the tab and any residual glue.

Using the Lined Dent Board

The Lined Dent Board helps to accurately identify the high and low points of a dent, making the repair process more precise.

  1. Position the Lined Dent Board near the dented area.
  2. Observe the reflection of the lines on the car's surface. Distortions in the lines indicate the shape and depth of the dent.
  3. Use a marker to outline the dent based on the line distortions.

Using the 2-in-1 T-Bar Puller

The 2-in-1 T-Bar Puller is effective for both large and small dents, depending on the tabs used.

  • For big dents, use the pulling lines with the grooves.
  • For small dents, use the individual pull tabs with the mini T-bar configuration.
  • Attach the appropriate tab to the dent, then connect the T-bar puller and slide the hammer weight to pull the dent.

Using the Bridge Dent Puller

The Bridge Dent Puller is ideal for middle-sized dents and offers precise control.

  • Glue a suitable tab onto the dent.
  • Place the Bridge Dent Puller over the tab, ensuring its feet are firmly on the car's surface around the dent.
  • Slowly turn the knob to pull the tab upwards, gradually removing the dent.

  • Glue a suitable tab onto the dent.
  • Position the Dent Lifter over the tab, ensuring its feet are stable on the car's surface.
  • Slowly and repeatedly squeeze the handle to lift the dent. Do not press the handle energetically; operate slowly and many times.

  • Select the appropriate head for the Metal Tap Down Pen based on the size and shape of the high spot.
  • Gently tap the high spot with the Rubber Hammer and Tap Down Pen until the surface is level.

Maintenance

  • Clean all tools, especially glue residue, after each use with high-concentration alcohol and the provided rag.
  • Store the kit components in the provided tools bag in a dry, cool place to prevent damage and prolong their lifespan.
  • Inspect tools for wear and tear before each use. Replace any damaged components to ensure safe and effective operation.

Troubleshooting

Glue Not Adhering Properly

  • Cold Weather Conditions: Due to cold weather, hot melt glue may be prone to cold adhesion, resulting in poor bonding. It is recommended to use a heat gun to warm the dent area of the car before applying the glue. After applying the glue, quickly press it onto the car surface.
  • Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface to be bonded is free of moisture, dust, grease, or wax. Clean the area thoroughly before applying glue.
  • Optimal Temperature: For best results, perform repairs within the optimal room temperature range of 64°F - 92°F (18°C - 33°C).

Residual Glue After Removal

  • Since the adhesive is a hot melt glue, it is recommended to use high-concentration alcohol to remove the adhesive, which can easily eliminate any residue.
  • Spray alcohol onto the residual glue and use the yellow plastic shovel and rag to gently scrape and wipe it off.
