Automotive dent repair technicians sometimes use a glue pulling technique . A hot melt glue and glue pulling tabs with a dent puller.

I use an Eastwood puller but hot melt or crazy glue doesnt grab well enough to pull dent so I solder a pull stud on

@@brucekuda6711 Have you tried the automotive dent glue? I assume it's different than ordinary craft glue. If it's strong enough to pull dents out of steel, surely it would work on brass? Unless the nickel plating prevents a good bond.
