You remind me of my uncle teaching me stuff a lifetime ago, but you always have those extra bits of knowledge I didn't get or just forgot about. Thanks for doing this...
Great lesson Pete. This is the first time I've heard of a shrinking disc and seen this technique. I'm sure it takes lots of experience to be able to feel those shapes and get em just right. I like that contour tool you used too. Body work is an art. Very informative video.
Pete, it was a different subject a year maybe a year & one half ago, but I saw your big 10” on the roll cart on a grinder. I new what it was but suggested a video on shrinking metal. I saw the guy who perhaps invented these in a video, but regardless, thanks for showing us as this repair was perfect for the tool. Glad to see adds running, I let them run all the way thru letting get some coin. I ordered the Astro Pneumatics Euro Pro HE with 1.3 mm tip and a 5/8”-11 stud extender for my buffer. I purchased a 3/16” stroke-stroke palm sander air powered for clear coat. I cannot thank you enough for trials, reviews, tips and techniques for doing it right. Unfortunately it’s 10 degrees high temp all week in a February in NE. Who’s a thunk it. Send Sammie up here to warm it up. Love the intro! Is Minnie learning well in her Catholicism classes? God bless both! Wrap your finger. You, I and other know, it ain’t the last time we’ll spring a leak and drip red stuff on the floor. I want to by a color SWRNC “Tee” shirt that is color in XXL for us big 6’3” guys. Get caught up onTetanus shot, flu shots, previnar 13, they need a booster. We all just want you around for a long long time! Thanks Pete
Re that sharp edge. I've just bought some silicone U shaped edge protector It fits an edge 1mm to 2mm thick so ideal for this. On my application I will glue it on with Bondic which is UV cured. The UV light will shine through the clear silicone.
Thanks again for all your great videos PETE
Learning from ur videos. Now, that's two owees on the nightmare I watched u almost cut ur arm off removing the back glass moulding.Thanks Pete, always look forward to watching ur channel. Keep the vids coming !!
It's a "BLOODY MESS"!!!!!
Really like the new intro. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Takes time from your job to inform people of tools, tricks and proper techniques.
Thanks for watching Dan!

TAKE CARE AND THANKS from P.R/USA.🇵🇷
Thanks for the comment and support Anthony.
Couldn’t a heat gun do the same thing Pete?
Hmm
I just hope there's no screaming or swearing
Come on Pete you should know better to use gloves 🙉🇨🇦
Thank ya, Pete! It’s like you have a hidden microphone in my garage, haha! I’ve been toying with these for the last week trying to get the hang of them. Getting better though and you actually answered a few things in this video for me. Very good video.
Sounds good NICK! Good luck
in all the years i've bought tools/consumables i've never seen a shrinking disc. learnt something new today. Also new place looks great Pete, lighting is fantastic
I was cringing everytime you fired that thing up. Only because I did exactly the same thing years ago and near cut my finger off.🤣🤣
Pete, your video quality has improved greatly over the years, especially the language; I can watch your videos with the wife and kids in the room now 😲.
It's amazing the tools that are available to manipulate metal to your will.
Very informative video and I could see the accident waiting to happen on mangling your fingers!
Hi Pete
Great channel with excellent tips.
With the shrinking disc you need the right spacer so that the thread does not protrude. You can then hold the disc flat on the panel . Will help the process much better.
Cheers Eddie Ryan
Next up at DIY Auto School....How to bandage bleeding fingers with masking tape
Been watching a lot of your videos. Good advice. I have a door that I am reskinning about 3/4 of it. It had about a .250 + bondo in the upper part of the door. I cut the rusted door skin about 2 inches below the body line. There is no damage on the upper part but the reason someone put that much bondo on was the door skin is radiused inward instead of outward and bondo the crap out of it to get the contour it should have. I can pull it out where is need to be but goes right back to its relaxed position. It's like it's been leaned against and the metal formed to a inward radius. Would shrinking this from inside the door panel cause the metal shrink and and hold the outward contour it should have? Hope this makes sense.
Good info i am beginning to fix a door on a 50 chev styline it opened too far and had a good crese top to bottom. I have most of it worked out but still bumpy. 👍👍👍👍
WOW Good to watch you share your professional talent! I too was raised in Denver down the street from you. 😉
i gotta get me one to try out. ive always just used a heat gun and a cold rag wet rag that i stuck in the freezer for a few minutes. i love new tools so i want one of these now. thank you.
Sorry you shed blood in the process of passing on this valuable information Pete.
nice video, even the most experienced gets caught out with the odd accident. i would remove the handle and have my hand on the top.
Great to to see you up and running Pete , keep up the great work and thanks for the tips! I also have a question, i sprayed 2 coats of sealer on my car but im seeing a few crevices where rust is coming through, did i not put enough on or is the eastwood epoxy just crap? thanks again!
I use air to cool less mess and contamination of the steel but them little disks are awesome
That contour finder is going to save me a lot of time messing around with cardboard. Thanks pete
TECH TIPS IS MY SPECIALTY!
ruclips.net/video/Q6hq_1eYS1c/видео.html you may consider using plastic ones also, see link in the description
Why can you not use a torch? Maybe the heat is more precise in the damaged area.
I couldn't help ,but give a like to my wounded Veteran friend my friend Pete for taking 1 for the team!
Teach a man to fish........ Lol! Thanks for the great tutorial!!
I was taught to use an oy acetylene torch to heat, and cool down with the sponge. The disk looks like it’ll work well too. 👍
I'm gonna round those edges on my discs right away.
A shout out from Pete? That’s a solid endorsement right there.
Thanks for watching MACHINE MAN.
Thanks that is pretty helpful👍
I THINK THOSE DISCS MAKE SO MUCH NOISE THEY SCARE THE DENT OUT....
Great video Pete...less bitcin' and more educational...great job.
Can't tell ya how many times I could have used that disk hey COOL
My stud is always sticking out 😔😁
My friend pete, the best, love all the videos, great work
Now that’s a good video right there!
Nice tip. Thanks Pete!
Excellent video Pete 🇺🇸
You are truly phenomenal
That Frankenstein car has seen an lot of your blood in the past.
Yeah -- Your right about that Brian
Great video Pete. Is there better method ie. disc v’s heat and quench with torch? Which one do you prefer? No bitchin, more like your old vids and enjoyable to watch👍
Great video Pete, very nice intro as well.
You totally reminded me to get the contour tool. I'm working on practically the same car 1974 280C. The front passenger fender had rust rot from the headlight bezel back about 8". After cutting the rust off and getting all the fender glue out of the way, I welded in a patch I made using my home made anvil. I have the contour at Looks about right, but, I want it to be a perfect match. Other than that the rest of the car is in pretty great shape.
Brian from Ma.Thank you for the crash course in shrinking disc wondered about that process and now its in my library big THANKS for all your blood sweat and tears my friend Besafe
Hey Pete! Haven’t had much chance to watch for a while but you seem less stressed bro, good to see. Don’t like to see any of my friends stressed, especially Pete!
Could it be hammerd as well if not why this method? What’s the reason for this situation? Just trying to Learn My Friend Pete
love the videos Pete!
Whenever I draw blood, I add an extra $5 to the customer's bill.
$5.00 for slight bloody finger, $50.00 for fractured/broken finger,$1000.00 in case you cut your finger off,and watching Pete cut himself up FREE and FUNNY......LOL
Very informative, I didn't know there was a such thing as a shrinking disc but I will add that to my toolbox thank-you Pete..and it seems that your world is a bit happier, great to see man ,I do mean that....peace out!!!
The shrink disc saved me from a lot of headaches with my quarter panels and roof - straight as an arrow
Pete I have a question is there a difference in gloss of the universal clear that you use for matrix and the 2021 PPG clear or is it too hard to tell or there's not much difference
I’m new to auto body work. I painted a truck 40 years ago. I can relate to your method of teaching.. I’m currently attempting to paint 3 deferent mustangs at the same time. I’ve learn more in the last 3 hours than I have in a long time. Keep up the good work.
Good stuff
I always had trouble trying to do this. I take it the blowtorch is too much?
using a torch is for caved in metal not crowned metal.. Torch heat is for shrinking "oil canned area's" vs the shrinking disc is for shrinking high spots and crowns such as what you see here.. If you use a torch on this type of repair you will make things worse..
@@myfriendpete Oops. No wonder it was so difficult. Thanks.
Nothing better than having the right tool to do the job. I’ve never seen nor heard of a shrinking disc but my friend Pete has and knows how to get it done right.
Cool tools thanks Pete but watch your fingers you only have ten of them.
Great video Pete!
Never heard of a shrink disk . thanks Pete watch them fingers.
Very good!
Cool video
I saw smoke on the water from the early 70's
New intro is sweet Pete! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thinks again for another fine educational video my friend Pete!
Excellent lesson. Thank you very much.
Thanks Pete! What no cussin!!
No cuss in today buddy. Thanks for watching Dobugg
thanks for all the vids....awesome as always
Where's the promised link in the description?
Thanks Pete, i didnt understand how those disks work
Awesome video as always Pete! Thanks again!
Thank you for your videos I subscribed
I’ve never used one thanks for the demonstration👍🏼
Great job thank you for sharing
Great video Pete on the metal working.
The intro reminds me of the 68 Rustang. I pray for the car to be finished ( bodywork and paint ) .
We’ll see soon.
How well would that shrinking disc work on today's thinner sheet metal.
Is like to know also
pure genius. A+++ Work!!!
What is the advantage of of a shrinking disk over direct heat (torch) to put heat into the metal?
The disc only heats on the high spots and over a larger area faster and easier.
Awesome....
So thats how that works.
Your the man Pete👍
Thanks Pete! I've heard of them but I understand them more now.
Alot of these guys that show you how to use a shrinking disc have these multi million dollar shops with every metal working tool known to man.. These type of guys laugh at you and me because we use bondo, and they think they're above us! I HATE PEOPLE like this that think they are better.. Use the Disc to your advantage weather you use bondo or not.. Thanks for watching.
Thank Pete🇦🇺💯
That was amazing!
Very thorough and in depth teaching Pete.
Thanks Jim.
Hello Pete
Hi Don
When I was restoring my AD truck, the side bed panels were really banged up. I tried straightening one side with a hammer and dolly, but I ended up stretching the metal like a balloon.
So I ended up using a torch, getting it red hot and then soaking it with water. And it actually work. But it was so much trouble to get it straight (a neighbor called the police on me, because of the noise from the pounding. And they lived across the street). I ended up buying a reproduction panel for the other side.
Use the hammer on the neighbor

When the police showed up, i had just finished. So I had closed the garage and was walking back to the house, when I saw the police standing at front gate.
Oh well, I got the job done.😁
