Mr Muddy 141 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Can anyone tell me the best way to get vinyl sign writing off the side of a van? I think they’ve only been on there a year, maybe less. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe1888 672 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) once helped strip some corecut vans, was a nightmare, heat and loads of patience, maybe some tar and glue remover.. Edited August 27, 2014 by Joe1888 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

P5HEN 168 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 boiling hot water to lift the vinyl from the glue, less chance of damaging the paintwork than using a heat gun, T.F.R.( traffic film remover) for the glue residue, if you cant get any use a bit of petrol, wd, t cut, get scraping lad, :thumbs: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
