Occasionally during dent removal dirt and hard grime on the inside of the bore will telegraph through the body of the instrument, so it is important that you clean the instrument body inside and out near the location of the dent if possible. The magnets and steels balls that you will be using should also be wiped clean and lubricated. Choose the largest steel ball that will fit into the body of the instrument and still pass the dent.

Lubricate the ball and roll it into the bore of the instrument. Now, lubricate the outside body of the instrument anywhere the Dent Eraser handle will be used. Starting with the smallest magnet, gently grab the steel ball with the magnet from the outside of the instrument body. To avoid damage to the instrument body, it is best to initially grab the ball with the magnet at a reinforced bow guard. Do not grab the ball with the magnet at a body band.

Roll out the dent by moving the magnetic handle over the dent with a back and forth motion. The magnet will pull the steel ball through the body removing the dent.

If the pull of the magnet is not sufficient to remove the dent, the stronger magnet should be used. This is the most basic method of dent removal employed with the Dent Eraser. It is also the method of removal for which the tool was designed.

There are, however, many different techniques that instrument repairers can use with the Dent Eraser. Keep in mind that the pull of the magnet is directly related to the amount of mass behind the magnet in the handle of the tool and the amount of mass in or touching the steel balls. If you come to a dent in the body of an instrument that is too deep, creased or work hardened, more pull than that exerted by the magnet may be needed. In this case, it is necessary to increase the amount of mass behind the magnet handle or in in the bore of the instrument.

The easiest way to increase this mass is to drop another steel ball into the body of the instrument. With more than one steel ball in the body of the instrument, the pull of the magnet will increase and most dents should be easy to remove. The Dent Eraser is the most used and most efficient tool in our repair shop. It saves time, money and shop space. Although not all dents are accessible with the Dent Eraser, many dents are.

The results achieved with the Dent Eraser are usually faster and more aesthetically pleasing than repairs done with traditional methods. This article should give you a basic understanding of the patented Dent Eraser.

The techniques discussed here are not the only ways to use the Dent Eraser. I receive emails everyday from technicians who have found new ways to improve their dent work with the Dent Eraser.

If you find a new technique using this tool, please contact me and share your ideas. Curt received his bachelors degree in Music Education from S.
