dry ice

that method of pdr has been tried many times before....it doesnt work... dont you think people would be doing it if it were easier than massaging the dents out? I'd think so!

Well, this is my results. My big dents in my rear 1/4 got a little bit smaller. Don't know if it will pop out again after i put the car down and drive it. 2 others got a bit smaller but still there. In true mythbusters style I will be taking it to the next level today. I have some junk body panels and ill make some large dents and try it.
Also, lots of dry ice to play with!

If your looking to have some fun.. Put some in a bottle with some water then close it and throw it in a parking lot and wait... Did this at work once, it was fun. But be careful!!Yeah we used to do that all the time when we were younger. Had a few VERY close calls though...one bottle blew up in my hands about a foot from my face.
We filled a 2 liter and put a camera on it to record the explosion, it took forever but when it blew up you could feel it in the house 50 feet away, all the ornaments on the windows were shaking too.

When I worked at a grocery store we'd throw them out the dock door. It was lots of fun until the manager caught on...
I never even thought of getting the dent nice and toasty from a heat gun before using the dry ice. project!
Something else that gets VERY cold is compressed CO2. Id be willing to bet that would get plenty cold if a 20 OZ tank were emptied on the panel.

me and some friends do this alot in the warmer months, we threw some in a dumpster once so it would echo really loud, and being we were in a baseball field parking lot, we found a baseball. so as one friend stuck his head in the dumpster to see why in the hell the bottle had taken so long to blow, my other friend threw the baseball as hard as he coule at the dumpster making the person with their head in it to think it went off. i swear he shit his pants.

The canisters that of compressed air that are used to clean off keyboards are compressed C02. Hold them upside down and that's what comes out...super cold.

I was thinking much larger. I fill CO2 at Scheels and when You dump a really full bottle the cans get extremely cold. You can't even touch them or you'll get frost bite... so I bet if you could figure out a way to unleash an full tank onto the heated dent you'd get some pretty extreme temp changes which is what you want.
