GLUE PULL REPAIRS
Glue pull Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a technique used to remove dents and dings from vehicle panels without the need for traditional bodywork and painting. Unlike conventional PDR methods that involve pushing the dent out from the back of the panel, glue pull PDR uses special adhesive tabs and a pulling mechanism to gently lift the dent from the outside. Here's some information about glue pull PDR:
Adhesive Tabs:
The process starts by attaching specialized adhesive tabs to the dented area. These tabs come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different dent sizes and shapes.
The tabs are typically made of a material that can securely bond with both the adhesive and the vehicle's surface without causing damage.
Glue Application:
A specially formulated glue is applied to the back of the adhesive tab.
The glue is designed to create a strong bond with the tab and the vehicle's surface, allowing for effective pulling.
Pulling Mechanism:
After the glue has cured and formed a strong bond, a pulling mechanism is used to gently lift the dent.
This pulling mechanism can take various forms, such as a slide hammer or a pulling bridge.
Gradual Process:
Glue pull PDR is a gradual process. The technician applies the glue, attaches the pulling device, and then makes a series of pulls to bring the dent back into its original shape.
The process is repeated until the desired result is achieved.
Suitability for Various Dents:
Glue pull PDR is effective for a wide range of dents, including small to medium-sized dents, hail damage, and creases.
It may not be suitable for extremely large or deep dents or areas where the paint is severely damaged.
Paint Preservation:
One of the advantages of glue pull PDR is that it helps preserve the vehicle's original paint. Since the repair is done from the outside, there is no need for sanding, filling, or repainting.
Versatility:
Glue pull PDR is a versatile technique that can be used on various parts of the vehicle, including doors, fenders, hoods, and roof panels.
Completion Time:
The time required for glue pull PDR depends on factors such as the size and complexity of the dent. In many cases, it can be a quicker process compared to traditional dent repair.
