To fix a dent in a Hydro Flask bottle take a hair dryer and heat the dented spot. Then take dry ice and rub it over the spot to make it cold. Repeat the process until the dent is out. You may also need to encourage it out with some minor force.
How do you get a dent out of a water bottle?
How do you get dents out of stainless steel?
- Push it out.
- Use a plunger or another suction device to pull the ding out.
- Use Pops-a-Dent.
- Apply heat.
- Use dry ice.
- Employ a combination of these solutions.
How do you fix a dent in a steel bottle?
How do you fix a dented chilli bottle?
Unfortunately, once Chilly’s Bottles become dented it’s not possible to fix them. This is because they’re made of stainless steel which can be very difficult to reshape. If your Chilly’s Bottle becomes dented, we wouldn’t recommend trying to fix this as it may cause further damage to the bottle.
How do you fix a deformed water bottle?
Put the empty bottle with lid on in the freezer. After a few hours, take the bottle out and put it in the hot sun. The pressure of the expanding air hopefully will pop the dent out.
Do swell water bottles dent?
These are often considered ideal characteristics for a reusable water bottle. However, the stainless steel is slippery and prone to dents, which is a dangerous combination. The bottle is also a smooth, seamless shape, which contributes both to its aesthetic and slipperiness.
Does denting a Hydro Flask ruin it?
Does A Dent Make Your Hydro Flask Stop Working? No, a dent does not make your Hydro Flask stop working unless the vacuum seal is compromised and the compartment between the inner and outer wall fills up with air, or if the inner and outer walls are touching.
How do you get a dent out of a Hydro Flask without dry ice?
If your HydroFlask has a minor dent, some hot water may help pop it out. First, you need to put a small amount of water in the flask and cap it to make it airtight. Then heat it until your water becomes steam which will produce enough pressure for pushing the dent out.
Does stainless steel dent easily?
Stainless steel appliances are durable and versatile, which is why they’re so common in modern homes. But dents in stainless steel appliances can lead to corrosion and long-term damage to the appliance. This is especially true in high-use appliances such as refrigerators and dishwashers.
Apply heat to the dented panel.
Turn on the hair dryer and use it to blow hot air over the dent and the surrounding area for one to two consecutive minutes. The hair dryer should be set to medium and should be held between 5 and 7 inches (12.7 and 17.78 cm) away from the car’s surface.
How do you get a small dent out of a stainless steel refrigerator?
To remove a dent from a stainless steel refrigerator with heat and cold, use a hair dryer or a heat gun to blow hot air directly onto the dent. The heat will make the metal expand, and it may pop back smooth once you let it cool. Alternatively, try making the dent contract by holding dry ice to it to cool it rapidly.
How do you Undent the bottom of a water bottle?
Pour boiling water into the bottle: just 10% will be enough. Without moving the bottle, put the cap back on. Shake the bottle. The pressure will rise, the bottle material will soften, and the dent will pop out.
How do you fix a dented Sigg water bottle?
Are dented plastic bottles safe?
The general consensus is that it’s safe to buy food from dented packaging. It does, however, depend on the condition the packaging is in and the food contained inside. The most common form of foodborne illness from damaged food packaging is botulism.
How do you fix a shrink bottle?
Will Hydro Flask replace a dented bottle?
Although our lifetime warranty does not cover ordinary wear and tear, including dents, scratches, powder coat chips from the flask being dropped or damaged, etc., it does cover manufacturing defects.
How often should I wash my swell bottle?
“You need to wash your water bottles after every use,” Sansori says, “or daily if you refill throughout the day. It may only hold water, but bacteria breeds in damp, dark environments like the inside of the bottle.”
How do you open a tight steel bottle cap?
- Rubber Band Trick:
- Rubber Gloves:
- Heating:
- Use a can opener:
- Use a knife:
- Smak the bottom:
- Use kitchen towels:
Use baking soda for cleaning: For those stubborn spots inside your Hydro Flask, mix 2-3 tablespoons of baking soda with a small amount of warm water to form a scrubbing paste. Dip the bristles of your bottle brush in the paste and work the paste into the affected area on the inside of your flask.
I have a plastic water bottle that I dropped. It now has a dent in the base, and is somewhat unsteady when standing up. How can I repair this dent without causing cracks in the plastic that will cause it to leak?

Title pretty much sums it up. Thought about trying to plug it up and force air into it. Any ideas?
Seems like that would work... Just put a stopper in the top and try to fill the better bottle with air from a air compressor..
fill it with hot tap water first for a while.
WHOA, easy with the air compressor thing. That's a lot of air in something not meant for pressure. Ever see a tire blowout? You could get really hurt. Partially fill with some water before doing anything crazy. Water doesn't compress! Play it safe and use a stick, live with it or buy another one!

If you fill it with hot water and then cork it, it will force the water to expand and create a higher pressure and will probably fix the dent, assuming it's not on a crease.
fill it with water, cork it, freeze it
If you fill it with hot water and then cork it, it will force the water to expand and create a higher pressure and will probably fix the dent, assuming it's not on a crease.
Water contracts when it cools (until it's cool enough to crystallise, whereupon it expands); filling it with hot water and corking it will produce a lower pressure, not a higher one.

When the hot water gets into the tank it will still be vaporizing. If the water vapor has nowhere to escape since you capped it and it is an expanding gas it will increase the pressure. Once the gas cools (which will take a bit) then it will condense back to liquid form.

Maybe if it's boiling, but empirical testing with (as originally specified) hot water fails to show a significant increase in pressure.

You are forgetting that the hot water isn't being poured into a vacuum.
Huh? I didn't pour it into a vacuum. I poured it into a PET container with an airtight closure and a minor dent.

Who are you to trifle with natural selection?
I'd try the ping pong ball technique...
Every time my dog would crush and dent a ping pong ball, I'd just pour boiling water over the ball, causing the air inside to heat and expand and pop the ball into its original shape. Instead of putting hot water inside the better bottle, just try sealing it with only air and pour boiling water one top.
I guess a dented BB is much better than a broken glass carboy

Either way though, I would rig something and have it at the end of a 50' air hose. If it works your better bottle is fixed. If it doesn't you have a $25 firecracker.
If the dent is near the botton, just use a broomstick. If you want to try pressure, put about 1 gallon of very hot tap water in, put a water cooler cap on it, hold it on tight and shake.
Notice the use of TAP WATER. Not boiling water or water heated on the stove. You will melt your Better Bottle if you do that.
The Better Bottle is rated for water temps up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

I'm familiar with the term, I'm a Chemistry major.
Fill it with water to about 4 inches from the top.
Open your hand and smack the top of the opening really hard with your palm. The pressure sould force the dent out. If you do this to a partially filled bottle you'll break the bottom out...should work with plastic...
I think the manufacture has advised that dented BBs are no longer oxygen barriers at the crease point.
Water + Dry Ice + Cork You'll just have to hope the cork is weaker than the sides, or there will be one heck of a boom. This would be best suited when with some friends and after a few homebrews. If it can't live to see another brew, it midas well go out with a bang!
Seriously though, I think filling it with water and freezing. That should create more of an even pressure.

You'd be suprised, this should work well. I was going to say about vinegar or lemon juice plus baking soda and cap it to apply low pressure to pop the dent, but I totally didn't think of homebrewer_99s' suggestion!
Just use some air from the compressor. You won't have it sealed so well that you could explode it. But, if you do, send videos.
How bad's the dent? I have one that's dented and it works fine.
Lets see some pics
you could just call DentPro....or try Fixadent

You have it backwards.

That or fill with COLD water and then cork it.
No, lordbeermestrength's understanding is low. We're not talking about putting hot water in it, corking it, and leaving it. Sure, over a long time (several hours) it will cool and then contract. You put hot water in it, cork it, and it *will* expand - the heating of the air above the water causes that. Shake it, and it expands even more. I know this every time I clean my kegs - fill with hot water and OxyClean, seal the lid, and push on the poppet - pssshhh! goes the poppet. I would have to let it cool overnight before it would start to pull a vacuum.
Gosh, and I didn't even get a 4-year degree.

The oxyclean has a lot to do with the expansion in that situation- Oxyclean is a bicarbonate cleaner, right?
To see what boiling water will do to your better bottle, try it on a 2 liter bottle first. PET plastic does not like boiling water. A more interesting experiment would be to ferment a batch in the dented bottle and cap it shut until the dent pops out. Probably will have to duct tape the cap shut.
Video/pictures would be great!

-keith I don't beleive my understanding is low. I just read what was said by Neunelfer. Did I misunderstand? Doesn't look like it.

If I am missing something or my logic is somehow flawed, please point it out... I come here for fun not to have some question what I "obviously" have or have not taken. If you want to debate the topic, feel free... but no need to be rude about it.
Mythbusters did an episode where they pressure tested standard 5gal water bottles and they held 95 psi. I would guess a better bottle could do the same, so if you stay under 30 or so it should be doable.
Either way though, I would rig something and have it at the end of a 50' air hose. If it works your better bottle is fixed. If it doesn't you have a $25 firecracker.
