It’s called a stud welder.
And yes, before stud welders were affordable most all dents were pulled that way.
In my opinion It’s more work and it tends to pull very tightly around the hole. stretching the metal and making more end work than necessary.
A common thing people do is mig Washers to the panel and then pull from the washers.
Quote them for the hours involved. and if they don’t like the cost then I guess they don’t want them done bad enough.
You should be. He’s got the most expensive booth on the site… Numskull paid more for his booth than his house… :lol1
(It’s funny because it’s true…)Looking good dingaling.

Sure doesn’t sound like a good idea to me…
Looking good stone.
Looks real slick Dag.
You guys have seen both done. Perhaps Sam was on those days.
Sure the thought of removing the screw and nut that holds those handles on made ol’ Bondo sick.
He probably made one of his kids do it for him.Looks good though Bondo.
Remember way back when, when we made a bet that you would finish it before I finished the 66. and winner gets a CVI?Well I finished 2 restorations, and bought a CVI in the time it took you to do that one. :silly:
I guess that would depend on what you’re spraying? :blink:
There are exceptions to all rules.Find out who manufactured it.
And my understanding is that the Resins with UV resistance cost 4-6 x more than typical Epoxy Polymers.
And still they don’t even offer as much UV resistance as a modern 2 part Urethane Clear Coat system. (That’s just the nature of Epoxies.)And I’ve heard the only way to clear coat one is for the company to scuff and shoot once the part has fully cured. Which means longer wait, more man hours, and more materials. Which as we all know equals Cost, Cost Cost.
With all the costs involved in adding UV protection, Chances are they WILL advertise it’s UV resistance. Because it’s the only way they can justify the additional costs of their products VS the other companies.
One thing you may want to explain to your customer, is that the same with all non UV resistant transparent Epoxy Polymers, the UV light travels through it, thus it doesn’t only yellow the surface, it yellows the resins throughout. So if the resins become yellowed throughout. Clear coating it later on or not, it will still never look as transparent as it did when it’s new.
Which doesn’t actually effect the integrity of the Epoxy, it just makes it less appealing to the eyes.And there really is no way to tell how long this will take, do to so many different quality of epoxy Polymers on the Market. Just like in the Paint industry. Some products are just straight up better than others.
Just explain that to him, and leave the decision up to him.

[quote]If it wasn’t cleared would it be dull still????[/quote]No, the Epoxy resin is shiny and is typically untouched from the factory. (Unless they have to fix flaws)
One disadvantage to painting over Carbon fiber is they are direct out of the mold. (Unlike some fiberglass parts, where if they have a flaw out of the mold the company will correct it before sending the part out.) So any flaws will surely have to be corrected. (Unless you just clear it, because the design of the fiber hides many small flaws.)
