thank you both.i do use a lexan,or plexi glass piece now and this method is fine for preventing scrathes.my intent is to come up with a solution to prevent busting tempered glass in higher end cars. too much pressure, and boom,it's gone.
hello gentlemen,
knowing that kevlar has similar charecteristics to metal(i assume someone may know the answer to my question) can anyone answer why kevlar has a high impact resistance but low compression.
let me rephrase that. first briefly: i'm considering using kevlar for a safety measure...
thank you. it was suggested to me that it was on the 07 tahoe. i perform paintless dent repair and was wondering what kind of nightmare pushing a laminated steel may be.
ford,gm,and chrysler have used "quiet steel" in dashes,cowls, plenums,engine components etc. but does anyone have information of the laminated metal being used in exterior shhet metal as in doors,hoods,trunks?
has quiet steel evolved to the point of being used in exterior sheetmetal for automobiles? ford has used it for dashes,cowls, and chrysler for plynums,just curios if laminated can be used for exterior sheetmetal?
i want to thank all of you that have set me on the right path. metman thanks for that last reply.i came to you gentlemen for guidance and you steered me in the right direction.
so it appears unequivically that i can now in confidence reveal to my peers that electricity and time is being wasted...
if this works, it'll show you what i'm up against. as we expand our craft, you can maybe get a glimpse of why i'm so inquisitive. i do wish someone couls please give me input on my last question, it's for the betterment of many, thanks to you all.

i'm not sure what the reply to the above question will be, but here's my next. up till now we in my field are heating the center of the dent. well in my mind if coefficient of expansion does in fact relate to our work, then wouldn't i be better of keeping the dent cool, and heating the outside...
i asked:"here's the delimma; is their enough heat at 240 degrees or lower, say 160 degrees, to effect a change in the molecular structure of a stamped and painted automobile exterior painted to make the metal more malleable even slighly if being manipulated with a very sharp tool?now i mean...
i have to laugh at myself.... if nothing else comes of these inquiries from me, at least you and cory are being forced to recollect what you learned in all your college courses.
i asked above
"is the coefficient of thermal expansion a fancy name for what we're discussing above?"
cory...
