    Now for the fun bitz...

    here is a dent that would prove fatal if I tried to sand it out.

    Solution? steam the bugger out.

    For this process, I need a damp rag, pipette and soldering iron set to around 100 degrees C.
    First I place a drop of water on the dent and let it soak.
    Then with the damp rag I start to steam the area.

    After few minutes, the dent is reduced by 50%, once the surrounding areas had dried out it was reduced even more.

    Now I can sand it out without ripping through the cap.
