A Guide to PDR Glue

Apr 19th 2023

Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) is a valuable technique for any vehicle body specialist or automobile owner. PDR continues to evolve, with experts and companies inventing numerous new products and techniques to restore vehicles to pre-accident conditions.

PDR technicians have two primary methods to pull out a dent—suction or glue pulling. Glue pulling is a relatively new addition to PDR techniques. Still, it is one of the best methods for technicians equipped with PDR collision-grade adhesives that meet the needs of any temperature or weather conditions.

The best PDR glue products from Metal Medic PDR Tools provide technicians with the perfect, quick-fix solution. These glue sticks are viscous; when appropriately applied, the adhesive cures, making it a strong bond between the panel and tab. PDR glue remains an effective, cost-efficient method of dent removal.

Glue Pulling

PDR glue pulling utilized collision-grade adhesive to fix dents on a vehicle and return them to their previous condition. A technician begins by inserting adhesive into a PDR glue gun to heat the glue. Specialists treat the target area thoroughly to ensure that the glue properly adheres and that a technician can achieve a clean, quick pull.

Glue pulling requires patience and can be challenging. Avoiding DIY adhesive kits and choosing the best PDR glue available is a must to return a vehicle to its pre-accident condition.

Every dent is unique, and the specific temperature, conditions, etc., will impact the perfect type of glue for your needs. Ensure you purchase a reliable adhesive from Metal Medic PDR Tools for your PDR needs.
