Used for Very Large Dents
PAINTLESS DENT REPAIR PDR GLUE PULLING
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTION FOR USING DING KING GLUE PULLING TOOLS
STEP 1
Prep glue pulling tabs by soaking them in 91% rubbing alcohol and drying them before first use.
STEP 2
Insert a PDR glue stick into the glue gun. Plug in the PDR glue gun and allow it to heat up for 5 minutes.
STEP 3
Clean the area to be repaired with 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol and a clean towel. It is important to remove all wax and grease from the surface to insure the glue and dent pulling tabs properly adhere to the damaged area.
STEP 4
Select the correct sized glue pulling dent tab by comparing it to the size of the dent. Larger glue pulling tabs are to be used for larger dents and smaller glue pull tabs used for smaller dents and also for finishing dents.
STEP 5
To save time when doing multiple repairs, glue and place all of the glue pulling dent tabs at once onto the vehicle; then do all of the repairs one at a time.
STEP 6
Apply hot glue to the dent pulling glue tab by pulling on the trigger of the glue gun until approximately a dime-sized amount of glue is released. Use a ‘pea’ sized drop of glue for smaller pulling tabs and a dime size or slightly more for larger tabs.
STEP 7
Apply the glue pulling tab to the exact center of the dent. Avoid applying too much pressure when placing the dent pulling tab to the dented area, so you do not create too thin of a layer of glue between the car panel and the pulling tab.
STEP 8
Allow the glue to set for about 5 minutes prior to using any glue pulling tool. The glue should be hard to the touch at the time you begin repair. If your fingernail leaves an impression in glue, simply allow a couple more minutes for glue to harden. Keep the panel to be repaired out of the direct sunlight so the glue will set properly.
STEP 9
Place the paintless dent repair glue pulling tool of choice directly over the dent pulling tab shaft until the female adapter in the center of the dent lifter slides over the shaft of the tab. Adjust the height knob accordingly.
9a. The T-Hand Puller may be used for glue pulling larger dents or to remove the last 10-20% of a dent.
STEP 10
If using a dent lifter tool, squeeze the dent lifter handle slowly several times until the desired result is achieved. As the damage gets smaller, reduce the size of the dent-pulling tab until the dent becomes flush. If using a slide hammer or t-puller, repeat usage and keep reducing size of glue pull tab as dents reduce in size.
STEP 11
It is common for the dent pulling tab to release from the glue, leaving the glue on the panel of the vehicle. When this occurs, spray 91% rubbing alcohol on the edge of the glue and peel it away using the plastic scraper. You may need to repeat steps #5 to #12 until the desired result is achieved. It is not uncommon to repeat the process up to ten times.
STEP 12
Occasionally a high spot is created when pulling the dent. If this were to happen, gently tap down any high spots using the dent hammer and the plastic tap down tool provided, until the dent is flush. Be careful not to tap to hard or you might create additional low spots.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
- This process works best when the vehicle panel to be repaired is between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The hot glue will not set or cure at high temperatures. For best results, do not perform the repairs in the direct sunlight, as the hot glue may not set properly. Position the vehicle panel in a shaded area or let the panel cool down before performing the repair.
- Dent pulling devices have limitations and are not designed to repair collision damage or dents located in thick metal. Extremely deep dents, rigid areas of the vehicle panel and dents that have existing paint damage may not be repairable using slide hammers and dent lifters. Never use dent pullers on vehicles with previous body repair where bondo or body fillers were used. Product is only recommended for use on factory OEM painted vehicles.

“The owner himself Todd was quick to respond via email as well as being friendly, courteous, and welcoming in person. I got my ding repaired while other students watched and learned from James (one of the instructors) techniques. I definitely will go here again and I thank them for being very efficient and on-point! Thank you again!!!”

“Employer sent me here to learn basics of PDR. There really is no other way to learn PDR unless you have a foundation, then it's practice and more practice. You won't have that foundation unless you come here! James and Sal are great hands on trainers who will work with you independently to make sure you get a great start in the business of PDR. Also Todd! Amazing guy to hear his start up! I plan on staying in touch!”

“So happy I took this class with these instructors. Although I have hardly any experience with vehicles besides driving, the instructors were experts not just in their craft, but also in making me feel at ease and that I also could learn this skill. With lots of hands on time I now can use the tools and with more practice I know I will be able to be very productive and love what I do. Very professional and they are members of the better business bureau so I know they are very ethical in their business practice”

“5 Stars to Ding King Training School for the training they provided for me and my boyfriend in paintless dent repair. We are from Ohio and we run a small detail business working with dealers and since back from school in March, we've gone from living on a pretty tight budget to making upwards of $4,500 a month. To say we are grateful is an understatement. We can't thank Todd, James and Cher enough for what they did for us. Two weeks seemed like a long program to be away from work and home, but it was the best investment we ever made. Thank you and God Bless you guys. See you in November for Bumper Repair class!!!”
