How to Restore a Dented Hydro Flask

Introduction

Use this guide to fix a dent in your Hydro Flask or similar metal water bottle.

A large part of the appeal of Hydro Flasks is the aesthetics. Dents ruin the overall appearance of the bottle, become an eyesore, and can be hard to cover up. Although they are a good alternative to plastic bottle they are not the easiest to maintain as they are easily dented with frequent usage despite their high price tag. Instead of purchasing a new one and discarding the old one, this guide can help you easily restore your bottle to their original shape, saving the environment and your wallet.

This guide will restore dents made on the metal portion of the bottle and not any of the plastic components on the lid. This repair is for aesthetic purpose only and are not effective for repairing the vacuum insulation ability of the bottle if dents damage the interior bottle walls.
