Removing Vinyl pad print

<< < (3/3)

Well thanks to everyone for the advice, I think I will give the Acetone a go first, then step it up to thinners , then blow torch and scrapper, lol.  :santa_cheesy:

I have used T-cut on a clean cloth. It works ok.

Wire wool is too harsh. ;)

Whatever you do...start with the thinner BEFORE the Acetone. Thinner is less destructive. Acetone will MELT the vinyl. If you do use acetone, put a small amount on a rag and rub it llightly. I suggest using a heat gun (starting from a distance of about 2 feet) and move closer to get the result. Be careful because when it starts working, it starts working fast. Keep a close watch because you will burn it and it will happen fast.

Ok, quick update. I have done 2 pads so far. I actually tried everything I had that I thought would be solvent based. Found superglue remover worked the best with a very stiff brush. That was going to get expensive, so the second pad I used thinners and that worked but does spread the print a bit. Took a little bit more work cleaning it all up but nice finish and no damgae to the nylon. Will try something different on the next I think, I loves it!  :D
