Back in the day dent repair often involved drilling a bunch of holes in
an area to pull with a slide hammer or such then bondo'ing over to finish If you are refinishing these areas now, either blasting or DA'ing that area clean ...do you bother to weld up all those holes? |

Both of my late doors have been repaired years ago with the hole and slide hammer method. Filler worms can be seen on the inside, but there's sure to be more behind the door brace. My thought is to strip the filler, weld the holes, and stud gun the panel as best as possible (can't get behind the panel due to the brace). That previous repair was actually done quite well.
Got a question regarding the stud gun: I've always relyed on guessing how long to depress the button to weld the stud in place. Too long and the stud must be ground off. Just right, and a slight twist will break it loose without creating a hole. Is there a better method to gauge the time to depress the button? Andys Andys |
