Removing Vinyl pad print

<< < (2/3) > >>

gmac:
Sounds a bit barbaric to me. I'd have thought those scourers would scratch the fook out of a vinyl pad. WD40 might look shiny initially, but as soon as it evaporates, you're back to dull and scratched again.

I don't know what you could use to remove the writing, without taking off the shiny layer. I'd say some sort of thinners would be better than scratching them off.

If it's just for show, maybe you could just laquer the pad afterwards.

I was thinking down the line of reversing the process of the printing. I expect the print is applied with heat, so if I can iron over something that will stick to the print and pull it away from the pad? Just a thought..... :santa_cheesy:

Bob_Acid:
see if you can get hold of lazychubs he tried a few things before he found something that did the job :)

mivvi:
Right, that sounds promising. I thought there must be someone who has tried this before?

jT Racing:
nail polish remover(acetone) or turps, but test a little bit first.
