Bumperlt Posted April 7, 2010 Well it worked, but too well. The first night I filled it up, I left enough space for the ice to expand, but left too much, and nothing was fixed. The second night, I added a little more water, filled it to the point where the ice WAS the previous night. Well that was too much. So in conclusion, the ice method does work, but be careful how much water you put in it. I capped both ends, perhaps if I had capped one, it would have pushed the dent out and the excess would go out the end. I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Padgett Posted April 7, 2010 Well you got rid of that ugly dent 👍. So it does work and the best advice would be to baby sit the pipe, check it every now and then untill the dent pops out, then pull it out and de-freeze it. Anyway work your pipe over with a piece of wood (something flat and smooth) untill you can get the seam back togather. Hey, dont dent it or you will have to freeze it again🤣. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg Y Posted April 8, 2010 leving the ends unplugged will not change the effects enough to worry about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
