Seedy Al Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 There must be a BOC gas in Whakatane for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hrm... might try this on the weekend. Although my local BOC doesn't sell slabs of dry ice I don't think - we've only ever bought it in pellets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Getting dry ice machine moved to my lab next Tuesday. Will report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 have not seen but is this dry ice to a dented (but not creased panel) then hairdrier applied? if so yup may have techinque around the other way as it would make for sense for the outer edge of the dent to 'pull' the inner back towards it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 I've done a fair bit of research. Most methods involve heating the surface first and then cooling the dent with something cold- dry ice or the c02 spray from an upside down can of airduster. you are right, the dry ice method does make sense when you think about it. I wonder if someone could rub dry ice on a strip of sheet metal and report back as to if the sheetmetal bends in reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I guess that wouldnt work the same since the loose sheet wouldnt be under tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taistorm Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Could use the freeze spray shit that you spray on bruises and sprains and shiiiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I tried it on some bigger dents without much luck, but I put the dry ice on first then heat gunned it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 You'd have to get all the way out to be effective wouldn't you? Else the sun would just make it buckle back into the dent again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 or just leave your car out in the sun in the middle of summer will do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Gotta paint it matt black for it to be more effective though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 You'd have to get all the way out to be effective wouldn't you? Else the sun would just make it buckle back into the dent again? I did wonder that too. Dont know enough about panelbashing to know whether the metal would rebound again after a halfassed destress like that.

I did wonder that too. Dont know enough about panelbashing to know whether the metal would rebound again after a halfassed destress like that. I would imagine this would apply some of the time, but not all of it. Sun is not usually going to be as hot, and the sun will warm up the entire panel, rather than the localised area.
