    OK, just checking to see what you had to work with. I'd look into the CL ads mentioned above to see what's available. I may be saying something other than what you may see on some of the youtube videos on the subject, but IMO the torch shrink "spots" should be smaller than a dime, and I'd prefer 1/4" or less. To me the propane is not precise enough to manage that kind of small area, and thus would be less effective at consistency and control, as you would get with the heating tip on the dent puller/stud welder. If you had a torch that was more precise on flame control, I might go into other options, but I feel the propane torch would likely make more work for you in the long run.. Perhaps some others on here that have a bit of experience in the use of torch shrinking could add their thoughts........
