Suggestions for a vinyl remover solution

[Derek Heron]

morning nick

lots of different ideas on this one but in my book if its a customer .point him to halfords and autoglym tar and glue remover.
about a fiver and should do the job. some vinyls come off better than others with a bit of heat pink plastic chislers are a great tool to get .i charge by the hour for vinyl removal.
i use a screenprint screenwash but you have to be carefull and test small areas

Thanks Derek, will this soften up the old vinyl as well?

hi nick

gentle heat will soften the vinyl .
and the tar and glue remover will soften the glue so it can be wiped away
not easy but a bit of elbow grease.
i know their is some products which will soften the vinyl but i think its easier to remove with heat rather than have it all mush like paint stripper.
jag products have a vinyl remover tool a motorised rubber head which looks good, pricey but if its a big job and cost effective so what jag sign supplies are on the tool bar and well worth a browse through.
you will spend a few quid on stuff you want in your tool box bit like cosco
you go in for a tin of coffee and spend a £100 quid 😮

quote Nick Tunstill:

A customer has asked for me to provide a solution for removing old vinyl lettering. I have seen some advertised but it is pretty pricey. Does anyone have a cost effective recommendation?

Many thanks

Nick

I use tar and glue remover from Halfords, works a treat, for older tougher stiuff I use a MBX vinyl remover (jag signs supply) , a rubber disc which is a fast way of doing large scale vinyl graphics.
