[QUOTE="bill11, post: 278800, member: 6578"] thanks for response. ya i know aluminum is difficult. I thought about leaving it alone but decided to restore the boat. Effort, time and frustration are not a factor to me. If they can land a rover on mars then i should be able to fix dents in my tin can. I dont know yet the best method. I thought about welding a patch on the back side after the dent is out to add rigidity. My choices are banging out the dents cold with dead blow hammers.=== Heating the 6061 to a minimum temp to aid in manipulating the metal== using a pulling method like auto body . If anyone has had sucess with any methods please let me know. ( i am not going to use any fillers unless it is weld filler) thanks bill11 [/QUOTE]
