Best blending video I have seen, especially wit a line board
Top work mate
Thanks Andy I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it, plenty more videos still to come...
Thanks for sharing your patience, passion.
Its a pleasure, thanks for watching :)
a Video is worth 1000 pushes. Thanks
Ha ha, agreed!
Amazing Tom.
Thanks, just a quick run through of a complicated process but I think sped up it really shows what's possible with blending alone!
Exelent Job congratulations!!
Thank you Edmundo!
Excelente trabajo
Thank you 👍🏻
cool
Thanks Alexsandr!
@@LearnPDROnline ,And, my thanks to you for the excellent videos.
Respected sir, which is better technique either using glue pulling or blending? I am thinking that blending may cause slight variance in the shape of panel if viewed from specific angle? Kindly clear my misconception regarding this. Thanks
Thanks for your question. Glue pulling and Blending are two very different repair processes for different stages of the repair and both are required.
In this video example I am trying to show the general concept of blending out damage, so I intentionally didn't pull or push this repair, instead I moved the displaced metal back its original position soley with blending and tapping techniques.
If however I was looking to repair the dent in this video example, usually I would glue pull first as it'll be a much more efficient way to move the metal and then I would only blend the last 5%. I hope that makes sense 👍🏻
👦🔨👌🔥
great video was that 45 mins of full on blending or did you go in with some bars. really wanna learn blending but living where i do my neighbours will hate me haha.
No pushing, no glue pulling and no hammer and tap down, this was just using the blending hammer alone from the top side. To be clear if this was a real repair I would have glue pulled it first and then finished with a blend and would have been a lot quicker, but I wanted to show the movement of the metal and what’s possible with hammer work... I am lucky to have great neighbours, once you repair their cars a couple of times they’re usually pretty forgiving! :)
@@LearnPDROnline really showed that metal moving its amazing what vibration can achieve through blending, strangely enough my mrs has a dent on her clio near enough the same location, would be easy to tool it out but i really need to put more time into glue pulling and blending,
@@paulmc9314 Yeah I didn't realise until I sped up the video how good it would be at showing metal flow, blending is a great technique to have I've only really started developing my blending 2-3 years ago after a seminar at an MTE I went to. Its great for finishing when you have just slight distortion around the repair, and of course in areas on roof panels that are difficult to get behind!
Hi, how hard do you have to tap
Thanks
Hi Amar, it depends on the damage, how much tension there is, the type of metal and the type of Knock Down you are using, sometimes a few light taps is enough sometimes you really do have to hit it! :)
is blending and tap downs the same?
Good question, no they are usually two separate repair techniques, when we refer to 'tapping down' damage it usually means a high spot that is either created during the initial impact or during the repair. Blending is a tapping/vibration technique to 'even out' the repair area with both vibration and reactive effects
Does Blending mean hitting the surrounding areas around a dent in order to make that dent magically pop back out? Or does it mean hitting the surrounding areas of a dent down so that the sharp dent is simply no longer visible to the naked eye because the surrounding areas are now also dented in as well?
Hi Mike thanks for your question, I appreciate it may look like magic but dents very rarely 'pop out' and we do not dent in the surrounding areas to hide it either. In this video I created a dent in the panel of one of our training cars to show that a low spot of a dent can be lifted without any pushing or glue pulling by using blending techniques, blending takes a lot of time to learn and longer to master and we cover it in detail both the theory and practical in our training courses but in summary there are two main types of blending, Vibration blending and Reactive blending, Vibration blending uses the energy created in the vibration to send metal from high areas such as crowns or tension points into the low areas to lift the low and then reactive blending is where we can create texture in the surrounding areas of a dent to blend into the existing texture of the manufacturers paint finish. I hope that helps
Are the hammer tips metal?
The hammer tips are usually interchangeable which means you can select the best tip for the damage you are working on, usually blending tips are metal, in this video I have a mushroom shaped metal blending tip and also a plastic bullet tip!

What is that on the bottom of the hammer
will probs be some duct tape to help stop any unwanted scratches etc
Yep a little bit of tape on the hammer surface, not always necessary as long as you keep the polished surface nice and clean but I knew for this one I’d be tapping it for a while so just a tiny piece of tape to protect the paint and even soften the blows slightly.
Tom. . Ok customer I got you're dent out, take a look. What do you think?
Customer. . Looks good Tom now how much you charge to remove those 3thousands micro dents.
Tom. . Well since I'm already here I can give you a discounted rate
:) Its good to have a sense of humour! This video is purely to show an example of moving metal with blending, not finishing and that is why we have a test car to practice on and not using a customers car. I'm sure a customer would not be thrilled with me intentionally hitting a dent in to their roof panel either! 3thousand micro dents would eventually blend in to match the vehicles paintwork texture, this textured appearance is often referred to as orange peel and the texture varies from one manufacturer to another.
Probably better off demonstrating blending techniques on a roof rail not on a flat panel. Micro divots everywhere now.
Thank you for your comment, this video is on our training car which is a old Renault that doesn't have roof rails :) The full tutorial is available within our training site along with a 5 part series specifically on blending, this 2 minute mini video just shows the basics principles. The paintwork finish on this model is very textured (aka orange peel) across the whole roof panel...
40 minutes fuck that
