Question Dent puller how to use

I'm a rookie at body work,but trying to get as much done myself as I can.I have a creased dent in the corner of my roof.I can"t get at it from the inside so I bought a cheap dent puller.It came with 3 screws,so now I have to drill holes.Where should I drill the holes.Should they be drilled in the crease and pulled or beside the crease.Any help would be great.THANKS

do you have a welder to close the holes up after? bonod will not be the best idea.... you drill the holes in the crease usually a line of em lost of holes but as you go you will see what needs to be pulled.... start a little in from the start of the crease alot of time if you are near the middle more the entire thing will almost come out with a few holes depending on how deep it is...

this is the better option if you have no welder....

I would say it is about 1"-1 3/4 deep.And i was planning on fiberglass.I have no access to a welder.Gotta wait for xmas on that.I just looked at the stud puller just a little too much $$$$ for now.And the dent is about 4" long
