CA for finishes-dent filling-

[gordon stelter]

Agreed. If there is a dent that will not steam out 
( usually really easy - very damp piece of felt placed
over dent, touched with hot iron, repeatedly if
necessary ) this sounds like a good fix - MUCH easier
than filling up a "hole" with finish, which can take
days as the stuff dries and shrinks, etc..
