Removing vinyl

[quasar]

Hi all, have a friend who has asked if it is possible if I could remove a name from a t shirt I made for him last year. (Girlfriend problems). Haven't worked out how yet though. Any suggestions.

there is a remover, however it will spoil the shirt, for printing over you can try nail varnish remover, again will spoil shirt - either layer over or i would personally tell him not to be a cheap skate and buy a new shirt its a year old and probably done at mates rates

Also, apart from changing the shirt as mrs maggot suggests....tell him not to change girlfriends as often as he changes his Tees!

Well cheaper than removing a tattoo lol

I had to do something similar and found after a bit of research that nail polish remover (as long as it contains acetone) works. However, on one top I had used two different vinyls (red & white) and one came off easily with nail polish remover and one didn't - but it is a cheap alternative that is worth a go.

Badge Remover from ETC supplies works well with some vinyl, - not at all with others. can leave a slight mark, - but has got me out of trouble on many occasion!

any of the vinyl removers will work - but the concern is on a garment thats now a year old getting new vinyl to go over a worn/washed area thats also had vinyl remover on it.... your asking for trouble - follow the purple dragon on this one
