7 Steps To Perform Dent Repair Using A Stud Welder Gun

1. Remove coating (grinder or dual action sander) sanding takes longer, but it much safer with today’s thin metals.

2. Using stud welder gun weld several pins on the damaged area. (remember first in last out)

3. As you start pulling your indirect damage first, use a body hammer to tap down on the highs. (this also helps relax your metal)

4. Pull direct damage last.

5. Remove pins and grind any of the remaining stud welded to the panel. (do not over heat metal)

6. Grind or sand 4″ past damage area to provide a area to apply filler without overlapping paint with filler.

7. Blow repair area off with compressed area.

Now you are ready to apply your body filler, block, prime, block, and get ready for paint.
