Tank has 3 dents.. one is pretty big.

Not looking for miracles but just a little better.

Spent about 1 hr in the morning and got some progress though very little...

Will update when more progress done..

Using Harbor Freight tool for $12.

I am pretty sure I"ll need more glue.

Video working it..

for some reason vidoes I have posted lately show up as links and not with the video screen shot.

One thing you can do to help work the dent out when pulling in that manner is to gently and evenly tap on the high ridge around the dent with a small hammer as you are pulling on the low area.

That will help to even the area out and you will have less chance of pulling the adhesive from the part.

Given the size of the dent, wouldn't he have been better off using the larger center piece?

Just include the video ID between the tags, not the entire URL.
