Dented Flask

[Capt Redbeard]

For christmas my girlfriend bought me a very nice engraved flask. This weekend I used it for the first time, and somehow I got a nice dent in it. So do any of you BOTL's know of any ways to get it out? I was thinking of putting some water in the flask, close it tight then put the flask in some boiling water, and hope the pressure from the water that starts to boil in the flask will push out the dent? if that makes any sense.

Of what maker and material is the flask?

The boiling water would be an interesting solution, but if you fill it too much and get too high of a pressure, it might burst? Have you tried just poking at it w/ a pen or something to see if it'll pop itself? My roommate did that on his and it mostly got it , but it was also from like the dollar store.

What's wrong with a dented flask. It gives it character.

Doc.

Doc.

Damn, that's the first time I ever did that.

Try blowing in it really, really hard.......... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

[Capt Redbeard]

The opening is too small to get the dent out with a pen. Its made of pretty thick stainless steel.

You could try putting water in it and, freezing it. Freezing water expands.

You would have to keep an eye on it though.

I think you got that wrong.

Put another dent on the other side and say it came that way. Dents are good. If I am not mistaken, didn't your dent stop a bullet or such?? :whistling: They make good stories.

 

[Eshaw99]

I agree with Devil Doc, ain't nothin' wrong with a little dent in a flask.

Plus, if you make a habit of carrying around flask, depending on what you fill it with, chances are you are gonna put a few more dents and scratches in it.

Evidently, you never forgot to take your beer out of the trunk of your car on a sub-zero night. :sign:

What do you mean. Of course it expands. Put a glass bottle in the freezer. fill it full of water and put a tight cap on it first. See what happens.

Edited to say: Thanks Doc, beat me to it.

What happens?? Well, after sleeping on the coach for a week because your wife went into the freezer to get some ice and cut her hand on the broken glass, it is hard to tell what happens after that. :laugh:

I have no clue if it'll work with a dent as small as yours but...

Yes dents add character and character is nice but............that dent may very well be taking up the space which could otherwise be occupied by another 1/4 oz. of booz!
