If the vinyl to be removed is not large, and you have a iron-on vinyl that matches the shirt color, I have simply scissor cut a rectangle piece of iron-on vinyl to cover the offending message, and/or name, and printed a new name/message on the rectangle vinyl. Nobody has ever complained about this "fix" coming off in the wash.

Hey METHYLENE CHLORIDE Works Great, It smells so use it in a well ventilated area and where gloves but the stuff is amazing, at times you will still see some slight ghosting of the old image but it usually comes out when you heat press the new image on wor when you wash it out, I had a customer send me a layout,that they wanted after all the shirts where done they realized they mispelleda name.. paint in the but but was worth the time to just remove the one name then having to redo all the shirts .

Not all nail polish removers have acetone. Also some nail polish removers acetone based or not have conditioners in them which are oil based. Will leave a stain.

Stahls carries a chemical to do this or you can stop by your local hardware store and ask for an acetone based solvent. Apply lightly to the inside of the shirt where the letters are...Use a spray bottle or a cotton swab. Let sit for a few minutes and then the letters should peel off. It will leave a adhesive residue and a smell (so use in a well ventilated area). The residue should come out in the first wash.

I was curious about this also. What if its been longer than 48 hours that the vinyl was pressed on the garment? I'm making jerseys and noticed that in a few area there were pieces of vinyl that were overlooked during the weeding process. I tried fingernail polish removal and nothing happened.

We've used some plastisol remover we picked up to clean up some screen printed items that a previous vendor had screwed up.

Found out the just a small amount applied to the vinyl side (not the adhesive side) would bubble the vinyl and let you remove it very easily.

We normally washed the garment before re-applying new vinyl. We save a football jersey this way where we were given the wrong name and number for the player.

Tekmar (the Adhesive and spot cleaning guys)makes a product called TS-VLR for this. They have a video available also-you can check it out at http://tekmarltd.com/products/chemicals/ts-vlr

I second the heat gun method. Didn't notice I missed a piece of vinyl and when I googled this came up and I used my Lowes gift card to buy one. Can off but you have to go slow and not use the high heat.

I have reheated garments under the press and quickly weeded small pieces off and it has worked perfectly.

I removed a vinyl heat press shirt number from my son's football shirt by turning it outside in, placed a clean dry dish towel inside to stop anything soaking though to the other side of the shirt, lay on a flat surface and soaked the area with Acetone (not nail polish remover) pure undiluted Acetone, any hardware store, chemist, supermarket etc sells it, as it is regarded as a general household solvent, and costs about 1 or 2 pounds?, I then pulled the soaked number area stretching back and forwards to loosen vinyl, after about 5 mins the vinyl number peeled off no problem, however I was left with a glue residue in the shape of the number??, well I turned shirt inside out again, placed in a plastic bag and put in the freezer for 24hrs, the cold freezes the glue making it brittle, after 24hrs I took the shirt and lay it on a flat surface and with a blunt butter knife (or something similar) and scrapped off the glue residue while it was still frozen, only took a couple of attempts but worked a treat if your patient and persevere.

Goof Off from the backside with a Q-Tip works as well.

 

[mharzhel06]

In my suggestion, You can just Re-press the image or vinyl that you want to remove... Just don't forget to put a bond paper to the image... 220c for 100sec...

I have used my spot remover gun after heating the vinyl a little. I spray the inside of the shirt with the spot remover and it comes off pretty easily. Good luck.

You can call up Walter White for some methylene chloride (can get from some chemical company) expect to pay more for shipping then the actual product since it is consider a dangerous chemical good. You can order from stahl' as well http://www.stahls.com/lettering-remover-solvent just put some on a qtip and apply solvent to vinyl and it we shrink up and peel off nicely having tweezers helps too. Sometimes there is a bit of adhesive left from old stuff I just usually reheat press and you can't see it after that. Good luck!

Plastisol ink remover also takes vinyl out.
