Heard on here I believe you could possible take the dent out of an old Webley Oil tin with a bicycle pump? Was finally using an old tin in a casing and the dent really was bad. I have a car tire pump you plug into the car socket and it had a Presta valve screw on converter for bikes. That converter had a O ring that perfectly sealed on the tin top. Just holding it on in a flash it popped out. Not totally but a huge improvement. Plus it blessed me with a little squirt of red oil on my shirt.

Funnily enough I was thinking about that when I saw your tin, but thought I was being too stupid so kept quiet. Glad it’s worked!

Good effort, does improve the appearance.

Genius!

Great improvement. A small car dent (suction cup style) puller could also work, if the surface would support a seal...
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

well done , for me it wouldn't of bothered me that much as by the looks the last guy squeezed it to make sure he had the last drop out of it !

If one could remove the label beforehand, this might be achievable, otherwise the label would probably be damaged.Originally Posted by Shed tuner
I did the same trick many years ago, with a carefully controlled miniature compressor, and it worked well.
Too much pressure and the base could blow out, also the seams could burst.
