If you’ve ever struggled with glue sticking consistently or getting those big, confident pulls, don’t immediately blame the glue or the tab. Paint gets contaminated. And that contamination can stand directly between the relationship of glue and paint. In this lesson, I walk through the sequence I use to properly prepare the panel and how I escalate that prep when the surface needs more than a basic cleaning. Go through the lesson, put the sequence to work, and report back in the comments. Have you struggled with adhesion or weak pulls? And after trying these steps, did you notice a difference? I want to hear what you’re seeing in the shop. Now WORK HARD and GO BE GREAT. ⚔️

I’m working on my first paying job this weekend! After all the training, putting in reps, studying, learning, growing, long nights ext. I was scared loading up my tool cart that I just recently put together because I figure I need to be ready and 💥 boom. Opportunity presented itself and I swallowed my fear of the unknown and I stepped into this new territory where it’s me against me against the dent and guess what, I’m pushing dents 😆 All the late nights putting in reps allowed me to build confidence and I’m so grateful for @Dean Berman. he has really shown me skills and a standard of pushing that is taking me exactly where I want to go. Cheers!

All and all pretty darn happy! Gonna clean up a little tomorrow it’s a blend panel. That pinch In the middle almost whooped me.

What do you feel is the most challenging when it comes to PDR? 1. Education 2. Comprehension of the Type of Dent? 3. Tools 4. Metal Movement 5. Time to work a dent 6. Types of Dent

Best way to practice clean pushes is to bring a light hailed panel home and repair it while your half is watching TV so you got to keep it clean because you're not allowed to knockdown whatsoever, works great 😂👌🏻
