How to Restore a Dented Hydro Flask

Introdução

Although they are a good alternative to plastic bottle they are not the easiest to maintain as they are easily dented with frequent usage despite their high price tag.

This guide will restore dents made on the metal portion of the bottle and not any of the plastic components on the lid. This repair is for aesthetic purpose only and are not effective for repairing the vacuum insulation ability of the bottle if dents damage the interior bottle walls.
