  • Heat transfer flex remover – Best product?

    Posted by Carl Jackson on 4 June 2018 at 12:08

    Afternoon all!

    Anyone had experience with removal of flex from garments?

    A good client has rebranded and now wants to change the logos on some unused and quite expensive high-vis jackets.

    Recommendations would be much appreciated [emoji106]

    place an iron upside down and place the garment on top of it, the heat softens the glue much better than just repressing it again. saved my bacon a few times with this one lol

    I’ve always found that regardless of the technique used either an iron or chemical spray there is always a glue residue left that can’t be removed 🙁 We changed our business recently and our old jackets are useless now to us

    That could actually be a plan Chris. The jackets are about £50 each 🙁

    Thanks for the offer Chris but we have a guy that supply’s any embroidery we need. In return he buys print from us. I can just see his face if he seen us with embroidery from someone else! He’d huff like a child lol
