Crowns are a common part of a dent where transferred energy is forced to the outside of a dent. Recognizing this effect around a dent drastically improves the repair process which helps the overall outcome of your dent removal. Depending on the situation, crowns can be knocked down first before pushing a dent or in some cases, the dent is actually pushed before to help relieve pressure off the crown.

In this PDR Line Board Manual, you can see that there is incredible detail and diagrams so you can recognize exact perception of what to look for. This PDR Manual talks about the techniques of keeping your tap down level as you apply taps with your hammer. 

Using suggested different tap down tips also plays a role for helping how clean your crowns go away. Depending how sharp the crown is, will determine the type of tap down tip your will choose. 

This part of the chapter "Line of Sight" helps you maintain eye level with your dent. If you don't stay eye level, your dent in most cases is not as flat you think. Whether it be an upside down technique or a squat from the ground, you'll always want to start and finish eye level.
