It seems to be a real art form to me.
I have significant doubts that you would get good results from the glue gun approach, and I would be astonished if you could even get something that looked good at 50 MPH from 50 feet away (a "fifty-fifty job") by using one of the suction cup thingies.

You have different pdr tools and tool kits. Bodyman spoons have been around for a long time period. A internet search shows ss whale tail pdr rods. Sheet metal deflection is better if u pull versus push .The heat gun works the metal as well as the paint elastic prop nature H&S tool mfg(Canada) makes several body shop tools one of which is called a glue puller
