Decided to Remove the Dent and it Worked Out Nice

#1

Post by DaveNH »

Against the advice of Can Dr. (Keith N.) I decided to take to plunge and remove the dent from this rare quart flat. It took longer than I had anticipated, but I had to go slowly. I'm pretty happy with the results.

That looks fantastic! Did you remove a lid or use a Bramlette Bender?

I removed the bottom lid as the dents were too deep & wide for the Bramlette Bender. I found some schedule 40 plastic pipe at HD that fit the can almost perfectly. Without that plastic pipe the results would have not been possible. Thanks for the kind words.
Thanks. Dave
