Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
I find a big difference between water based adhesives.I've got some TexTac (cut 50/50 with water)... that I like for fleece. But man.... it's really hard to strip off the pallet when cleaning. Water won't touch it, I need a strong press wash like CCI RC-5 to get it off.

AND, maybe some Mean Green.

Stick on another, trim, put on your new adhesive.
Pierre et al.......You may want to try a few wet/dry wet applications and perhaps a bit weaker dillution......should get way more than 50 shirts. We used the d-sided tape at JSR but that stuff is expensive!tp
Thanks alot for all the good advise as soon as the aerosol sprays are used up that i have i am replacing with the water based safer chemicals. i also use the pallet protek and love the product comes right off and the pallet is nice and clean. now i just have to figure out what to do with all my paint thinner.
As far as paint thinner, can't help you there.
Folks in the North Georgia Mountains tell me it's good for "Huffing"!Sorry.........tp
