Automobile bodywork repair
Instructions for repair of bodywork panel, using bumping blades, mallets, dollies etc.
Here are two examples of usage:
Haciendo uso de un mazo de goma, cuya intensidad de impacto es limitada, se aproxima el daño, fundamentalmente el *perfil del quebranto*. (This paragraph is a bit elliptical - by aproximar el daño, they are saying that the damage is repaired to come close to the original panel shape).
"La conformación real del daño se realiza con tas y martillo procurando, en este caso, no golpear directamente sobre el *perfil del quebranto*."
All help gratefully received! The text is from Spain, translating into British English.

Note from asker:
| But if you don't knock on the damaged area, you can't remove the dent....! (In some cases, you may tap around the edges of it, I know, but the direct method is more common). |

e.g. a text on bodywork repairs:
"Proceso de reparación (3)
* Se soldará una arandela en un extremo de la zona deformada, en su parte más resistente (la línea de quebranto)
