    Default Removing heat press vinyl

    I accidentally switched 2 numbers on some shirts and I am trying to remove the vinyl to correct the shirts. I am ableto remove the vinylbut the "glue residue" is still on the shirt. What can I use to remove it?

    Nothing I know about. If it is a one only you could put an outline and new numbers or a new shirt and new heat applied vinyl.

    I have gotten little flecks on a shirt before and have never found a way to take it off. I was afraid that goof off and the likes would discolor the shirt. I, personally would have to just start over. Unfortunately it may be one you have to eat. If you ever find a way, would you mind posting it because I have needed this info also in the past. Thank you!

    Take a look on www.stahls.com they have a chemical that takes of the lettering and adhesive all in one, in seconds. Then you can re-apply what you need. Save garments and time. They even have a video showing how it works.

    For little "extra" vinyl that sneaks onto my shirt, I have had success in removing it while the shirt is still very hot. Or, if discovered after it cools a little - I have reheated the area and used some awesome tweezers I have to pick it right off. For the larger oops - I have just started over.
