Thank you for posting this, I’m working on a 1945 vans side panel with oil cans all over it and just enough crown to make it a nightmare. This is really going to help
Very good video and educational. I have some oil canning on a small panel that I made for a bulkhead top, basically a flat panel, I need to fix. I don't have a gas welding torch so I am going to try your technique with my MAPP Gas torch. Kind regards Paul from 48SPOKES (UK)
Hmmmm... I think hammer off dolly towards the hot spot is correct as it forces the metal in. That's why shrinking hammers have a rough face surface so they help push the metal sideways. If you think about how you hammer tig welds to relief shrinkage when they start to pull tight you'll realize hammer on dolly technique is actually working against you and the water shrinking on the cold metal in this video is doing all the work here.
I was taught that one hit in the middle of the hot spot, then go AROUND the hot spot to 'push' the metal in, toward the hot spot gets more shrinking. Works for me!
Sir you are amazing, I have worked on race cars, jet airplanes and manufacturing for 45 years you are very talented.
As good as it gets.
Thanks for the compliment, and thanks for watching.

Nice work. I dont mind real time at all, thanks for sharing. Look forward to more content like this.
@paulnewton943 thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching!
And the last same sort of heat repair video says heat the concave part instead of the high spots. ?? See now the middle was done as well.

All depends on the dollie location @Wheel_Horse
How do you shrink metal, on say, a trunk lid with bracing, with no dolly access to the back side?
Hot stuff...
Very easy for me to understand thank you
Thanks for watching!
when I see a guy working bodywork with rubber gloves, I know something is very very wrong.
@@bernardmauge8613 lol, it was only to help my hands slide easily. Thanks for watching!
