Tactical Dent Tech

Cold glue can be a powerful tool — but only if you actually understand what's happening during the pull. In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, I break down the real reasons cold glue pulls fail, what most techs misunderstand, and how small adjustments can completely change your results. This isn't theory. This is real-world PDR experience from the hail lanes, retail work, and years of trial and error. In this episode, we cover: Why cold glue isn't magic (and why it fails for so many techs) Common mistakes that kill your pulls before they even start When cold glue makes sense — and when it absolutely doesn't How to think about tension, timing, and panel response The mindset shift that separates average techs from elite ones If you're frustrated with cold glue, this episode will save you time, money, and a lot of unnecessary experimenting.

In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, John gets real about something many people in the PDR industry see—but few are willing to talk about. Suspicious repairs. Damaged cars being covered up. Money made in the dark. And the chaos that always seems to follow. Drawing from real-life industry experiences, biblical principles, and hard-earned personal lessons, John breaks down the difference between operating in the physical world versus walking in the spiritual world—something Jesus spoke about often, but many business owners ignore. This isn't a "religious talk." This is a business reality check. You'll hear: Why manipulating systems, hiding damage, or avoiding accountability always carries a cost How money gained the wrong way never truly belongs to you Why chaos, stress, broken relationships, and lack of peace often show up before consequences do How integrity, accountability, and doing things right bring order—not just spiritually, but operationally Why your employees are always watchin
