dent

The action from dent consists of causing the sinking of a certain surface through the Pressure or from hits. For example: "I will lend you my car, but drive with caution: if you get to dent it, you will have a big problem", "After hitting the door with a punch, the singer stormed out of the hotel", "If you keep hitting the can like this, it will dent.".

The idea denting is usually linked to vehicles. The bodywork of cars and trucks is usually metal for the most part. So when a vehicle is in a crash, the body is likely to buckle. Dented a car is not only an aesthetic problem: it also reduces its value. A car that is dented has a lower value than another that, with similar mechanical and technical characteristics, has an impeccable body.

In general, all objects metallic they can be dented. On the other hand, elements made of wood or stone, to name two possibilities, do not dent since, upon impact, they they break or they fracture. The result of denting is known as a dent: "The truck had a dent in the right front door after the crash".

Since car maintenance usually generates a impact Even during non-problem seasons, discerning users have developed a variety of techniques to treat and correct dents without the need for a specialist.

One of the home methods to repair small to medium dents in a car body can be accomplished with the following four items, most of which are often found in the home:

* thick rubber or latex gloves. Failing that, those who wish to invest a little more money can opt for gloves industrial, such as those used in jobs that require the handling of sharp objects or substances dangerous to health;

* ice dry, which is also known as dry ice. It is important to clarify that it is carbon dioxide, and not water. In nature it occurs in a gaseous state, and therefore does not leave a wet residue when sublimated;

* aluminum foil, something that many people use in the kitchen to wrap food that is taken to the oven, for example, so that the cooking is more even or more intense;

* a hair dryer that allows you to regulate the temperature.

Having gathered such elements, it is possible to proceed to repair the car dent. First of all, we must heat the affected area with the hair dryer, taking care not to bring it closer than 13 centimeters, always at medium temperature. It is important not to overheat the painting.

The second step consists of covering the dent with aluminum foil, thanks to which we will prevent the heat from escaping and we will protect the paint from the action of dry ice.

With the help of gloves, we must take the dry ice and place it on the aluminum foil and rub it gently so that the sudden change in temperature causes the contraction Of the surface. Once the dented area is flattened, a metallic noise will be heard, at which point we can remove the paper and dispose of it properly.

The Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) also mentions that denting is the process that takes place when embellishing something with balls or spherical ornaments.

Finally, it should be noted that buoy (with Y instead of LL) it's a concept which links to place buoys (floating objects that are installed in the water as a signal).
