I did got a dent out with ICE

fill out the pipe with water ,clog the ends and put it outside (if cold) or in a freezer

make sure you plug the ends right and ton fill out too ,leave some free space for some expension.otherwise the pipe might crack

ice power is unbelievable

good luck

A buddy of mine got his out with compressed air! He bought these rubber stops that expand when tightened. He moddified the one to have a tire valve, shot it with about 40 p.s.i. and poped them all out! If you ask me this could be very dangerous and I would go about it with severe caution and maybe not so much air pressure! I think he got the rubber stops at TSC or Home Depot! Hope this helps!

your not lying! ice pushes dents out beautifully. filling a pipe up with a good amount of water and capping the ends using anything u can find, a plastic bag and wrap the end of the pipe with rubber bands works. finding a freezer big enough is the hard part. if you get really cold weather just stick it outside for a night.

of only you had an lrd adjustable pipe.....so easy to push dents out of.

I have a nice sized dent right at the first beng on my lrd pipe, so i just fill it up with water, take a plastic bag and ruber band it onto each side and the put it outside for the night?

i work at a welding shop and we have some plugs for that purpose, put the plugs in the end one is for plugging water line when your working on it and one has a air fitting on it, put both in heat up the dent a little and put air to it it`ll pop right out
