removing dents with a glue gun??

So can this new gadget remove a small dent with a glue gun and some suction cup??? Is it worth $20 to give it a try??

i don't buy in to that.

i see those things in wal-mart all the time, plus i see the commercial on tv all the time.

when you dent metal, it stretches.

my z28 has several dents in it. a friend of mine popped one of the dents out, and there are now three distinct body lines, instead of a nice curve to the 1/4 panel.

i don't think it's worth the $20. just use a hammer and dolly and do the work yourself.

my friend has it, he tried to take this one dent out and it takes at least 6 tries before you can see some results..

not bad if your just trying to get some of the dent out.
