Is it Hijackin' if the thread is 1 year old?

Yesterday I decided to attempt to un dent my RR banana wrap that met the seat of my picnic table when I parked after the Labor day outing . I had a nice 1' long almost square dent that matched the profile of a 2 X 12. No photos- I wasn't too sure I was going to do any good. After removing the belt line and the few rivits, off came the wrap. I made a Redneck wheel, a southern variation of an English Wheel, from a nicely rounded, worn out wheel off of an old skate board. I stuck a 1' long 5/16 threaded rod through the center as a hand hold. I then placed a cushion on the work bench, the wrap face down on the cushion and started rolling out the dent from the rear. You actually have to press pretty hard and roll back and forth over the entire area, but the results were more than satisfactory. It actually removed most of the rock pecks, didn't restrech the material and reduced the creases much better that I had hoped for.
