I carry thick wool blankets , I fold them to make a nice pad which I put under the blower, stops those 'orrible dents!

Tip: Don't point blower towards chimneys, watch out for plates and paintings
quivering with the breeze.

The problem with using a pad beneath the blower is that it reduces the efficiency of the blower by lifting the air-stream.

If the machine is still up and running a few strokes of the wand normally will remove these dents, or they brush out fairly easily.
