Dave hit it on the head. As for my method I just played around until I figured it out, so It's kind of hard for me to explain. I just knew how the metal reacts from heat. You need to be able to read dent, basically tell where the outer edges are, figure out WHAT cuased it, and then reverse it. An easy way is the whack the oil can a few times in different locations with a pick hammer backed with a block of wood. This will lock the dent back into place. Next heat and cool ( with a wet rag ) around the outer perimiter of the original oil can. This will shrink the metal back down to hold it tight. Then you can go back to the pick hammer spots and dolly them flat. This will get you alot closer, but if you want a " no filler " repair it will take much more time, and some better tools. John Kelly makes a shriking disc that works well, but takes time to know haow to use it. Time I haven't spent with it yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Most of what I know I figured out on my own, and becuase of that I am not good at explaining how I do it, I just do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I tried to teach a couple of my friends how to snowboard once. they looked at me like I was speaking Gaelic, they went and took a 30 minute class (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
