How to fix a dented Ping Pong Ball [Quick Must Know Hacks]
I know the pain when you get a dreadful dent in a Ping Pong ball. But the good news is that you can solve the issue more easily than you can imagine. I came across a few DIY methods that I thought to share with you all, who are tired of solving the dented ball problem. You can still solve the problem, believe me!
#1 Method - Using Hot Water
​
Pour in some hot water in a glass, and fill it just a bit more than half. You just have to keep the ball immersed in the hot water. If you fill the glass completely, the ball will dispense out the water from the glass. So, just fill it a level more than half of the glass.
Even a dented ball has got some air left inside of it. Our main aim is to heat this internal air and let the air expand slowly to pull out the dent entirely. Add the ball inside the water, and dip it inside till the whole ball gets immersed in the water. As soon as the ball gets heated, the air on the inside will get warm. This way, the dent will be removed from the ball. As a tip, make use of boiling water to get the job done quickly.
​
#2 Secondly, we have the Hair Dryer method
​
The main concept that you need to follow is the expansion of the air using heat. Therefore, heat can be generated in any possible way. You can make use of hair dryer too for this purpose. Heat the ball using the hair dryer, and this will heat up the air inside the ball.
To get this done, hold the ball in the palm of your hand with the dented portion facing on the top. You need to blow the hot air directly on this dented part of the ball. Set the blower with the hot setting, and blow the air onto the dented portion keeping a distance of 15-20cm. Make sure that you don't increase the air too high, this may get your hands burned.
#3 You can use a lighter for burning
​
The dented ping pong issue can also be solved with the help of a lighter. But you need to be really careful while doing this. So make sure that you keep up the concentration, and a complete attention while doing this experiment.
Hold the ping pong ball in your hand, and keep the dented side of the ball towards the downward side. Ignite the lighter and place it just below the dented ping pong ball, in a way that it stays some distance away from the ball.
​
If you keep the lighter near to the ball, you may burn up the whole ping pong ball itself. The over-exposure of the ball towards the flame could melt down the ball. So, keep a distance between the flame and the ball - and get the dent removed from it. Also, removing the dent doesn't take much of the time. It gets done quickly within a short time.
​
Later you can place the ball inside a soft handkerchief, to let the ball cool down. Place the ball inside the sag area, and the ball will be ready to use within a while.
​
Next time you get a dented ball, do not throw it away! As you can see, you could solve the dent on the ball easily. It may not give you the same performance as the new one, still you could use it out for more number of days. Got a dented ball? Try out any of the methods listed above, and fix it by yourself!
