Hi Guys
Lost a can to the 45-50 mph wind gust here at the Peotone show. Any suggestions on how to remove a dent from a very RARE expensive quart can, it is full. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Any chance to save it empty?

where that dent is it could possibly pop out- the closer it is too the top/bottom it will less likely pop out -

that is close too the bottom, if you can't get it too pop out you'll have too drain the can -

take palms of hand too each side of the dent & put a little pressure on it .. ... cool

Isn’t there someone in the business that can fix these dented cans? I have been told that by vendors at this show.

That's the very reason I empty all cans of oil. The oils worthless. I have straightened many cans and relid them does not devalue them at all.

I totally agree and was going to empty it when I got home, but the 50mph wind gust got a hold of it before I got into my van 😡 Are you the member some of the vendors were telling me about?
