@techromancer1 thanks!

I can't believe he is using the edge of the D.A. sander, the first thing they teach you is not to use the edge on any flat surface as this heats up the metal and makes it warp...

allways use the sander flat

[NihilisticSliceshow]

i searched for "feather dent" randomly and this was the first video it pulled up ha

[lickyournanna08]

hand on bare metal = instant rust

[ButlerCollision]

This could be a number of things. Can you tell me more or send a pic?

[Demolitionist007]

I painted my car and bubbles occured on the paint, why is that?

[TheRattrodder]

@Demolitionist007 Most likely it's solvent pop. If the paint isn't allowed to cure properly before you apply clear coat, the solvent that is trapped underneath the clear has to come out. It does this by forcing its' way from the paint through the clear and leaves pinholes. If you put your nose close to the affected area and can smell solvent then you know that's the culprit.

80>180>220>320=primer time :)

[FLUNGSHIT]

@mellyj69 wow melly thats quit the inferior complex you have there 

[mellyj69]

@FLUNGSHIT well its true. is there a problem? or are u just trying to start pointless drama?

[badderthanyou]

...like a primer.....

[Thevoiceofreasonful]

Much better if he had an electric DA ..air is rubbish..its ok for breathing..

[MrInsaneMonkey]

wow someone has no clue how to feather edge he tilted it way to much, used way to much air pressure and to fine of sandpaper. he also had to big of an area and way to much metal showing. there should never be that much metal. at the most there should be 1 square inch showing

[iwataw400]

woo u have no idea neva use the edge of the obry thats wat puts edges there n there are 24/grind marks on the steel that will sink back

[ButlerCollision]

Using 80 will make a bigger repair area. Then you will be working your 80 scratched extending the feather edge even further. The ideas is to keep the repair as small as possible.

[panhead1219]

Wrong grit at .49 NOTHING finer then 80 sould be used to feather edge all that crap as it will just take to long and cause warpage (IMHO)

Cut it down FASTER and COOLER with courser grade.

[Golym16]

He used pretty much too many times :] Helpful video though.....

[ButlerCollision]

Thanks for the advise!

[frankieinter]

only one tip I would like to add to this video he should keep opening the edge to reach the 2nd repair area... so this way to keep only 4 sides sanded & feather edged  instead he has 8 sides going now..Just my experience

[Theophilos77]

Thanks for posting these videos. BTW, I have the same DA!
