Well, a very humble beginner. Still working with line board. Have not been able to repair one single dent but succeded to 90 % (still a little low) with the KDP method to apply pressure on the highest tension. I have been stiching before and that was very messy. Small dent about an inch: The result was a small step for PDR but a giant leap for me Attachments:

Good job, I haven't worked with a line board before but have been debating on putting some stripes on 1/2 of my board

Guys..... You're gonna find that you will have faster and better success with the fog, but definitely do what works for you!

Good job, I haven't worked with a line board before but have been debating on putting some stripes on 1/2 of my board Thanks, have not tried a real fog light yet. Only a handpainted translucent board. With that I could easily see my push and my tip but the dent was much harder to see. With the line board you see every micro dent but when you push, you only work the lines (not see the tip or dent, only lines). Took me two months of training (a couple of times peer week) to just find my tip and to be able to pinpoint the spot

A proper fog reflection w/ the proper instruction, will facilitate a learning curve of almost "NILL". Finding your tip and seeing the damage is learned within hours, not months. The funny thing is that Myke Toledo is merely promoting line boards, because its the only reflection he can use. Then he uses his camera, speaking skills and a whole bunch of money to promote: "Lines are the way to go".
WRONG AGAIN, MYKE.
Look at it this way....
Ask around and see how many hail techs use lines? Answer: Very few, if any.
And hail dents are simple to see. Using lines for complex and large dent PDR is a bad choice. JMO

Fog light is not very easy to find in Europe but I think I am near to place an order on one from Germany. Mr Toledo is very good of producing fancy videos but I had to be very persistent not to give up. With KDP I have made my first progress Thank you!

Thanks, Mikael. My pleasure! Yup..... That's Myke Toledo! Fancy videos..... Thats all he's really got! The video, below should help you with how to get a proper fog on a reflection board. The cover for a possible light in the near future will not be necessary to paint anything. Just proper measuring so it fits right over the led strips and into or on the housing of the light.

Moved to next level to handle sharp dents. I have a goal to fix my own cars and it is not only PDR. I also have to learn spot paint repair. Todays dent has a little chip in it: Attachments:

Only the paint job left if it was for real. Quite pleased with todays result. I have 20 of those dents with and without chips on classic cars from 1988-1991 to fix. I will in 2015 start fixing my own cars and I am very happy about this Attachments:

This is strange, a rubber hammer with a hit in a angle creates a sharp dent. Had done 20 of these without sucess. Attachments:

Now suddenly I can see and the metal moves where I like it to. I will try to find myself a door to train on. I also would like to work under the braces but I have no tools for that. Attachments:

Ok, a setback at todays last dent. Could not pick up the deapest part of the right hand dent. The hammer made a crease which was not possible to push with my blunt tool even If I overstreched it. Do I need a sharper tip to get the crease (at the knockdown tip) out (had no long pry bar with a sharper dent so could not try) ? Attachments:
