Hi,
Sorry about this not being a beer can repair.. but thought this might be the right section for this post?
A week or so ago I found a Coke can online that I have trying to acquire for a while. It was in bad shape, and even worse shape after shipping. These Marine Corps cans are another one of my side collection and I am always looking for more cans.
Yesterday decided to try and get some dents out of there and at least make it displayable..
Here are the before pics:
Had to cut out the lid and do some manual de-denting.
After pics:
The can went up the shelf and I think it looks pretty good, considering things.
Thanks,
VNV

Re: Aluminum can repair
Did you have to take the top out to make the repair?

Re: Aluminum can repair
Yup I did. Otherwise I would have not been able to reach it. I wanted to try a bramlette bender? But don't have one and I think that would only really work on steel cans?
