Another technique is to quickly cool down the metal with wet cloths after
heating it and removing as much of the oil can as possible with hammer and
dolly, working from the edges in. This kind of bodywork can be done at home as
a learning exercise, but I wouldn't advise tring to learn on your Healey
fender. As with most things manual, with practice you get better at it, so
practice on something less important than your fender first. I would recommend
you get an experienced body man (panel beater, not a Bondo spreader) to do the
job.
