  Advice on removing Garment Vinyl please?

  Hi, is there an easy way of removing t shirt flex? I applied some to a cap but it wasn’t properly aligned and now i need to remove it but it’s taking ages. Any help much appreciated.

  Cheers

  Transfer remover spray from Xpres.
  £6.50 a can and a lifesaver in an emergency.

  Make sure you only spray it on flex though as if you spray it on dura/ultra cut or extra flex/easy flex it just turns to mush and goes into the fabric instead of coming off.

  You spray it on, wait a few seconds and when the flex starts to lift off grab it with tweezers or a weeder.

  Ive used it in emergencies and it saves you wasting a garment or a cap etc, It smells exactly like tippex thinner so not sure if the same ingredient is in there, maybe that would work, but don’t know if they still make it I havent used it since school.

  To remove ultra cut, just use a heat gun, peels of when very hot
  Not as good on coarse weave garments though, t’s and hi vis no problem
