Hello Master Jake, magnificent job, super well explained, thank you very much for sharing your wisdom with the PDR Dent Remover community, many blessings to you and your family, God bless you
Thanks, almost had to learn how to edit videos again! I've got a few more lined up, so will be busy in the next couple of weeks, thanks for watching as always! 👍
Thanks Joshua for your positive comments. yes , I actually enjoy the editing as much as the repairing, they both require a certain amount of patience and attention to detail. Take care 👍👍👍
Большое спасибо, очень приятно получить комментарий. Я буду выпускать по крайней мере 1 видео в месяц, но я надеюсь выпустить еще много. хорошего дня! 👍👍👍
Wow, Jake again a 1 class craftsmanship work you did there. Salute! Happy to see you finally in 2022 all the best for you and your business. Greets Steven
@@1st_track_dents I hope so! Had a couple of walk ins yesterday- and the car washes are over flowing so there will be some work for sure! I’m editing too as we speak so I think Thursday il have a repair vid out! How are you? You busy?
@@dentremover01 Cool, look forward to seeing the new vid next week. Seems to be picking up a bit and still playing catch up from being off last year, although it's freezing out there at the moment so it certainly makes it more difficult.
Thanks Francisco! Glad to see you are still watching us old guys pushing these dents out! Thank you for your thumbs up, I hope you are very well my friend 👍👍👍
Absolutely fantastic repair Jake. Thank you for making yet another brilliant video. It’s so good you take the time to explain the entire repair process from start to finish. I always love watching you work and you never cease to amaze me with what to can do. Looking forward to seeing the next video. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Take care.
As always thanks Myke for watching and your support, yes they do take a lot of time to edit but I do enjoy making them. I might try and do a few shorter ones to fill in the time between the longer videos 👍
@@1st_track_dents I bet the take a lot of time making and editing etc. The production is top notch and that is the same with all the videos you do, including the nonPDR ones. Always a pleasure to watch Jake. You have a true gift in communication.
Hi Paul, predominantly it is for metal panels, although there are some cases where it can work on plastic, but plastic is less forgiving than metal and there are so many type of plastics so the material is not consistent. I only really focus on metal. 👍
Another great job well done ,when you are a master of your craft you make it look easy I know it's not as I have started practicing with doors from the salvage yards thank you for sharing your knowledge mate much appreciated cheers 👍🦘🇦🇺
No problem Damien, once you are doing it day in and day out, it does get a bit easier but it is a great skill to have. Thanks for watching from down under, good luck, keep practicing 👍
Glad to see you back always a pleasure to see you work your magic. The tool's on the panel is that a basic tool system. The pointed knock Down do you ever have chipping paint from maybe too hard of strikes
The tools I use are quite basic and simple, the knockdown will only ever mark the paint if the panel is hot, for example, in the summer on a hot day and the car is in direct sunlight, it also can mark the panel if the panel has been resprayed before and it hasn't cured properly, or if there is filler/bondo behind lurking under the paint finish. Otherwise if it is a good original paint finish, you will have no problems 👍
Hello Jake Nice to see a video from you again. As usual you are still doing a great job in PDR and a great job as a video designer. I wish you all the best for the future. Greetings from Switzerland, Luke
Thanks Lukas, I hope you are very well. Thank you for your kind comment, I've had a tough couple of years but trying my best to get back to where I was. Take care 👍
As always Jake, your expertise in PDR is remarkable. You should be teaching a class on Skillshare. Just one question - when you apply heat to the panel, how long do you hold the heatgun to that spot? I know you need to be very careful or you can damage the paint, but just a rough estimate of time elapsed for each one would be great.
Thanks George, you do have to be careful but I just give it enough heat so that it is hot to the touch, not burning hot. I get it as hot as the panel would get on a hot summers day. You do have to take extra care with light paint finishes as they can go yellow, but you just have to be sensible and keep feeling the surface as you heat it, I do touch the panel to see how hot it is getting during my repairs but I edit those parts out as they are not very interesting to watch. 👍
Hi Jake, why do we have high points? Pushing and tapping back seems time loss. Can there be a improvement in technique to eliminate self made high points? Such as pushing as close as possible to reqular surface.Thanks.
Thanks Anil for your comment, unfortunately there will always be high spots to tap down, that's just the nature of the metal. You should read up on the theory of 'springback' In order to move/bend a piece of metal it has to be moved beyond the point you want it to be as metal is slightly elastic (mild steel, Aluminium HSS and ultra HSS all react differently). Also within a dent you get tight and soft areas and when pushing a tight area up, the soft surrounding metal will come up higher thus needing to be knocked/tapped back down. All the tapping down can be reduced by using the correct tips on your bar. Too sharp a tip will create many high spots, so through experience a technician will become more skilled in knowing what tools to use and this will in time reduce the time spent on finishing /tapping down. 👍
Thanks, I like using the Glexo brand of glue sticks, however on this job the bootlid had been painted so that's why I didn't glue pull it and the access behind was really good for pushing. 👍
Hi Jake! how nice to see you again!! and as always good video friend! I have a question, instead of hot glue, did you use glexo cold glue? or is it still likely that the paint will come off??? greetings from Mexico!! and I hope you continue uploading videos that are great! A hug!
Hey, great to hear from you as always! If I know a panel has been painted, I will never use any type of glue from the outside to pull the dent out as I don't want to risk pulling paint and Glexo cold glue can also be super sticky. But it is more the fact that with cold glue pulling, you have to shock the panel with a slide hammer and that shock of pulling the panel may crack any filler lurking underneath the paint or pull off any paint that has not bonded properly from poor paint adhesion. Generally as a rule if I have excellent access from behind as I did with this job, I would always favour controlled pushing from the rear of the dent. I hope that helps 👍👍👍
Hey, it's hard to say really as there are so many out there on the market. I actually started out with this kit and still use a lot of them today : www.pdrtool.com/collections/pdr-tool-sets/products/master-41-set-made-in-usa Although you will need to get a light, knockdowns and a good 24 inch double bend screw on tip bar.
@@CovidSH That's great, it would be an easier transition for someone like you to get into PDR as you will have a keen eye and feel for dent work. You should give it a go 👍👍👍
Thanks Luke, unfortunately I'm down in St Albans and work mobile so don't have workshop. Sorry. I'm sure there are some good PDR guys up North, I only know 2 other great PDR guys up North, but they are up in Sheffield and Hull which is still a drive, but they do both have a workshop. Let me know if you need their details 👍
Muy bueno!!! very good!!! Regards from Spain! Pleasent to see you again this year!!! one thing if is posible,... hoy much it cost??? cuanto se cobra allí por una reparación como esa? Here in Spain about 125€. $$$??? muchas gracias! Thanks a lot!!!😉
Thanks for watching! I don't like to discuss costs on here as lots of factors go into pricing, and the price varies up and down the UK, although you are not far away in what you are quoting. 👍
