Default How to remove vinyl transfer?

Hi guys/gals, does anyone how to remove vinyl transfer from 100% polyester material?

I had a supplier ship me some custom uniforms and a vinyl transfer they put on there is wrong, so I am trying to peel it off little by little, although it works, it might take ages.

I dont want to ship it back to the supplier, as I need them for this coming week.
Its a basketball uniform, so im trying to remove a vinyl transfer thats on there.

Thanks
Ben

A heat gun may do the trick. I had some vinyl pressed on a 50/50 and I used the heat gun ($20. at hardware store) and he;ld it about 6 inches away from the vinyl. it heated the glue and I just pulled it off.

If the glue is still on the shirt after pulling the vinyl, you might try acetone to break down the glue. (test the garment's reaction to the chemical first!)

Just bring the vinyl up to temp. It will peel like butter when the glue releases.

Keep the heat moving around, you can burn the shirt if you are not careful.

Use a weeder, there is nothing like hot glue stuck to your finger.
