Shoutout to the guy who told me to try a stud welder on my dent job last weekend
I was working on a 2010 Honda Civic door from a hail storm in Phoenix and figured I'd just do the old body filler route like I always have. Well, I borrowed a stud welder from a buddy and pulled out the bigger dents first, and the amount of filler I used dropped by about 75%. Has anyone else ditched straight filler for more pulling on their jobs?

Yeah, couple things. A stud welder's great for pulling but you still gotta do filler over it unless you're doing paintless dent repair and that's a whole different setup. Also, 2010 Civic doors are actually pretty easy to pop dents out if you go from behind, but you probably already knew that.

Right, because who needs a tool that actually works when you can just slather on enough bondo to turn a Civic door into a paperweight. Love that logic. Samreed's got a point about the 2010 door being easy to access, but that's assuming you want to spend an hour fighting with interior panels in a Phoenix summer. Stud welder saved him time and his lower back, plain and simple.
