At Dents By Hand in Boulder, CO, we’re always exploring innovative techniques to deliver the best Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) results. One such method is Glue Pulling Dent Repair (GPDR), a modern approach that complements traditional PDR methods. Here’s what you need to know about this technique and how we use it to restore your vehicle.
What is Glue Pulling (GPDR)?
Glue Pulling is a specialized PDR technique that uses strong adhesive tabs and pulling tools to remove dents without accessing the back of the panel. A technician applies a glue tab to the dent, attaches a pulling tool, and gently pulls the dent out. Once the dent is removed, the glue is carefully cleaned off, leaving no trace behind.
Benefits of Glue Pulling
- Ideal for dents in hard-to-reach areas, like roof rails or edges
- Minimizes the need for disassembly, saving time and cost
- Works on a variety of surfaces, including steel and some aluminum panels
- Preserves your vehicle’s factory finish with no sanding or painting
- Perfect for smaller dents or as a complement to traditional PDR
When Do We Use GPDR?
At Dents By Hand, we use Glue Pulling when traditional PDR methods aren’t feasible, such as when a dent is located in an area with limited access or when de-trimming may be more invasive than necessary. Our technicians are trained to assess each dent and determine the best approach, ensuring a flawless result every time.
