It would be nice to experiment with different size and weight hammers, and possibly heating the metal to perfect your process.
Edit. I was looking at the picture of the gold and black, thinking the black was heavier metal that you could beat the sheet metal portion against. But looking at the first picture, I guess they’re both sheet metal.

You are actually correct on both counts, the black, (original), can is heavier than the replacement one they give you. I'm planning on re-using it but of course I need to use the new cap for it.
I've also seen the Ebay listing where the guy talks about hammer marks, really he sounds like a hack. You can always hammer and chisel the cap on so that it seals but I'd much rather have it properly crimped.
