David,
This how I get the dents out. You want it to be clean
inside and out as any dirt or carbon will be transfer to
the metal. It helps to polish it first as you can better see
what you’re doing. I doubt that hammer with its
changeable heads of different hardness is still available.
For me its just the thing for straightening brass and
aluminum
.
If you ever have the need to try this, you’ll
find its really pretty easy – on brass and
aluminum. Steel – Thats is a different matter.
Hammer looks similar. Need to be sure that at
least 1 head is rubber and they’re not all plastic.

Tubs,
Your post pretty much describes what I have been doing. I didn’t clean the inside though and I can appreciate the error of my ways!
I have a similar plastic faced hammer, but I will need to polish up my small ball peen hammer.
Thank you for your great pics and advice. It is truly appreciated!

Part of the “self thought” process. Cleaning the carbon
out of the can, can be the most difficult part of this repair.

David,
Is that a steel can your working on.
It looks like corrosion (rust pitting) in your pictures.
