How to : Removing Old Vinyl HD

Video walkthrough of removing old vinyl from a boat.
Your first consideration when deciding to remove old vinyl is the surface it is applied to. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to hurt the surface of your boat, especially if it were a boat or vehicle. Older vinyl will become more brittle, so you may notice flaky, smaller chunks of the vinyl coming off during removal. This is normal however for older vinyl.
The easiest method for removal is to use a Heat Gun. Starting at the lowest setting and working your way up to a safe but warm temperature. Warm the vinyl until it becomes brittle and can be peeled off using your fingers. Or, to make it easier on you we offer the ‘Lil Chisler’ a small plastic tool that is safe to use on fiberglass or scratch prone surfaces. Using the Lil Chisler in conjunction with the Heat Gun makes for an easy and quick uninstall.

A hair dryer works just fine to heat the vinyl letters. Might have to run it on high.

Use the drill wheel to remove the letter and glue the wheel has a expiration date on it

I’m using a razor blade since I don’t have a chiller. My reflective vinyl keeps flaking so this is a pain. Hours and hours of work :(

3m stripe off wheel. heat gun leaves all the glue

Sometimes a little rubbing alcohol can help with the glue and there are things like goo-gone and more natural alternatives. We'll take a look and see if we have any new tips to share and update this video.
