Title: removing heat pressed graphics
Post by: mooseman on February 03, 2013, 08:33:01 AM

screwed up a number on some 100% poly jerseys, product was stahls thermal film, didn't have any methylene chloride could not get any quickly.......after a brief test we discovered that dabbing the inside of the mesh jersey with my spot cleaner solvent cut the grip about 50% and I was able to peel the film off in one long stretchy piece.
Dried it pressed it and replaced the number worked just fine.....

yep, just a spray w some spot remover softens it right up and they can be peeled off and redone.

The real test is after the garments have been laundered a few times......Even if no adhesive is visible, after laundering the remnants begin to pick up lint and dirt and because quite visible....
