How to fix dents on metal fridge door?

[Hayaimi]

I would like to know how can I fix all these dents on my metal fridge door on my rented premises without disassembling the fridge itself?

Good Evening @Hayaimi 

My only suggestion would have been to use a powerful magnet to pull the dent out. But after trolling through some you tube videos it dosnt look like an idea that will work to well.

The only other idea I have is to maybe use a combination of hot water poured over the dent area and straight away using a suction cup pull the dent out. (found this online but like the idea) The metal of the fridge is thin so you may be lucky.

Where can I find suctions that are strong enough and small enough to pull them back to normal?

Hi @Hayaimi,

There are no suction cups that are strong enough to pull these dents out. If the hot glue and puller are not removing them then a suction cup certainly won't.

I am not sure how you are operating the puller, but I would squeeze the trigger quickly instead of slowly.

Okay thanks. 
After some research online I found out the hot glue I had been using isn’t cut out for Paintless Dent Repair. 
Do Bunnings sell PDR specific hot glue that’s strong enough for this repair?

Hi @Hayaimi,

The kit is designed to be used with standard hot glue sticks. If the current glue you're using is a budget variety, you might like to try the Stanley variety. I've used standard hot glue before with good results. I am unaware of any PDR-specific hot glue.

Hi @Hayaimi 

My concern would be that any other adhesive would result in damaging the surface itself which would complicate an already difficult project. These repair kits are primarily designed for thicker automotive applications. Plus the more pin-prick the dent the harder it is to restore. I have a very expensive dark stainless fridge which has 3 pin-point dents in it that nobody in our family can explain. I attempted to fix the first one 2 weeks after I bought it with no luck after 2 attempts. On the flip side a mate had a larger dent in his fridge and followed these instructions using a similar puller product to the Trojan.
