Some progress.

Okay, seriously, what is the problem with the uploader? I uploaded it normally and it rotated, so I rotated it the other way, it rotated 180°, and that third try did not work so well, either.

I used hot glue sticks from the dollar store and they worked well enough, but the mini gun does not put out enough heat for the large tabs. However, the cheap glue helped pull up the black glue.

I am not sure that I can improve it any further, but it is less noticeable.

There seem to be some subtle ridges on the hood and roof, so I think I will use my bridge again. Hopefully I can push down the ridge, pull up the dent, and not dent the other side.

I worked on the roof, although I am not sure that it did any good, although it did not damage the paint [further]. Someone complained that the glue sticks that came with their slide hammer damaged the paint on their Chrysler 200.

Apparently their Chrysler 200 has worse paint than my twenty year-old Honda.

I moved to one of my old full-sized glue guns with sticks from Dollar general. They charge 45¢ each for a pack of ten. The gun jammed, so I disassembled it, and the spring sprung into the endless chaos of the garage that Mom refuses to organize. The trigger on the other one was broken, so I took it apart, reattached the spring, screwed it back together, and the first time that I tried to use it, the spring popped loose, and I needed to operate it by shoving the stick into the gun, while maneuvering the tab.

It really did not work well.

I am now the proud owner of a $9 Walmart glue gun, but it is too late to work.

Their glue sticks are 25¢ each for bags of 24.
