Hey, you want to know why glue pulling won’t work to take out the dent on this hood of this vehicle. Well, let’s take a closer look and I’ll show you why pushing the dent out is the better option. All right, let’s take a look at what the first reason is now you can just barely see this, but we’re going to take a look right at this edge here and right along this edge. Basically, this has the 3m clear bra film on here, and something like this would be damaged with hot glue pulling now if we took our hot glue, pulling tabs and stuck it on here, you know: if you tried to do this and you pulled on it, you would pull This clear film right off and now you’ve got a big hole in it or rip in it or a tear or it’s damaged and won’t stick back down, and then you have to replace it for several hundred dollars.

So, you don’t want to attempt glue pulling whenever you have a clear bra or a film on your car. Now these are common on a hood panel and a lot of times they are on the edge of the fenders, but sometimes you’ll find them on mirrors, bumpers and even sometimes side panels. So, you want to avoid that now. The other reason hot glue pulling won’t always work and, for instance, with this hood is this hood is aluminum, got a magnet here and magnetic business card, and magnets will stick to steel. They don’t stick to aluminum, so not even sticking at all, so we can use hot glue pulling to pull out dents with hot glue in aluminum, but usually the best preferred method is to get behind it and push the dents out.
