KECO Intermediate Blue Glue Tabs Variety Pack - Smooth Face (16 Pieces) | 410-SSBVP16

Product Overview

The KECO Intermediate Blue Glue Tabs Variety Pack (SKU: 410-SSBVP16) is a 16-piece assortment of premium Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) pulling tabs manufactured from KECO’s highly versatile "Blue Material." This specific variety pack features tabs with a completely smooth face, designed to create maximum surface-area adhesion for the strongest possible pull on stubborn metal.

The KECO "Blue Material" is engineered as an intermediate-strength formula. It provides the rigid strength necessary to move heavy, stretched metal while retaining just enough flexibility to contour securely to slightly curved vehicle panels and absorb pulling vibration without snapping the glue bond. Equipped with a functional mix of round and crease tabs in various sizes, this smooth-faced assortment is an essential kit for technicians who need maximum glue adhesion on unpredictable, multi-shaped dents.

Key Features

• Smooth Adhesion Face: Unlike dimpled tabs, the smooth face allows the hot melt glue to spread entirely flat against the tab, creating a solid, uninterrupted bond that is preferred by many technicians for achieving the absolute strongest pull possible.

• 16-Piece Assortment: Includes a highly functional mix of shapes and sizes, such as round tabs for circular impacts and crease tabs for elongated door dings. Ensuring you have the correct footprint for any damage profile.

• Intermediate "Blue" Material: Formulated from KECO's proprietary blue plastic, offering a perfect balance between rigidity (for hard pulls) and flexibility (to prevent the tab from shattering or premature glue release under tension).

• Vibration Absorbing: The flexible formula naturally absorbs the shock and vibration of slide hammer strikes, helping to maintain the glue bond throughout the pulling process.

• Universal Compatibility: Designed with standard pulling collars, these tabs lock securely into KECO mini lifters, slide hammers, K-Beams, and virtually all other standard PDR pulling tools.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Use Cases & Applications

• Deep, Stubborn Dents: The smooth face provides maximum surface area for glue adhesion, making it exceptional for deep, center-pulls where you cannot afford the glue to release prematurely.

• Slightly Curved Panels: The intermediate blue material has enough flexibility to contour to the soft body lines of doors and fenders better than ultra-rigid plastics.

• General PDR & Door Dings: A perfect everyday assortment for repairing standard door dings, shopping cart impacts, and medium-sized hail damage.

Common Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the difference between Smooth Face and Dimpled Face tabs?
A: Smooth face tabs (like the ones in this kit) provide an uninterrupted surface area, which many technicians find creates a stronger, more rigid glue bond for heavy pulls. Dimpled face tabs (golf-ball texture) increase the surface area for the glue to grip mechanically, which can sometimes provide a more consistent, albeit slightly different, pulling characteristic. It often comes down to technician preference and the specific glue being used.

Q: What is the difference between KECO Blue tabs and Ice tabs?
A: KECO Blue tabs are made from an "intermediate" material. They are strong but have a slight flexibility to absorb shock. KECO "Ice" (clear) tabs are the most rigid and are designed specifically for maximum, dead-center pulling power on very stubborn, flat metal.

Q: Can I reuse these tabs?
A: Yes. KECO glue tabs are highly durable and designed for repeated shop use. Simply apply 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol to release the glue, peel off the residue, and the smooth face is ready to be prepped and used again.
