    I have used a Wagner wall paper steamer with the wand removed to raise dents that wouldn't quite lift with an iron. I never went as far as to adapt a air hose fitting to concentrate the steam to a really small spot though.

    Doco,
    I stumbled on and have now lost a post here where someone mentioned a Air compressor fitting that attached with no problems to their Wagner steamer.
