Hey everybody its Matt with Mikey Designs today I'm going to show you how to
remove heat press vinyl lettering stick around show you how it works here we
have a last name that needs to be removed and this is easyweed vinyl that
we pressed we heat pressed onto these hoodies and we need to remove the last
name and put a first name so obviously first thing you need is some final
lettering that you need to remove and then what we're using is vlr later
removing solvent i'm going to pause the video just for a moment because this is
version 2.0 we had an inquiry about how do you reapply the vinyl after you use
the VL r to remove it and we're gonna show you later in this video also keep

problems in your shop anyways thanks for listening for a second back to the video
and then we're also going to use just kind of a rag to help remove some of the
the adhesive that's behind the vinyl and we'll show you what i'm talking about
here in a second so generally what i would do is apply this on the back side
but because this is a hoodie it's going to absorb a lot of the solvent before it
what you can get to the name so in this case i'm just gonna put this on top
and let it do its thing
so I'm going to put a generous amount make sure it's nice and saturated and
what I'm going to do is I'm going to give that a moment to sit and do its
thing okay now that we let the solvent sit for a little bit you can kind of see
how it's starting to just want to come up really starting to eat away at that
vinyl and so what I'm going to go ahead and do at this point is I'm gonna stick
it in the heat press for a few seconds just to kind of evaporate some of that
solvent okay we got it on the the trusty heat press I'm going to put my Teflon
sheet over it and I'm just going to press it for two or three seconds just
kind of help evaporates on that solvent and you can see that just starting to
peel off
and there you have it you can see it's nice and it's removed it did a really
clean job there is just a little bit of the adhesive from the the vinyl so I'm
gonna go ahead and I'm gonna take my rag I'm just gonna put it a little bit of
the solvent on there and I'm just gonna give it a little bit of a rub where some
of this lettering is and there we go all removed the next thing I'm gonna do
before I actually do reapply a name so I'm going to press this one more time
just for a few seconds to kind of help evaporate the remaining solvent and I'm
gonna set this aside let it dry a little bit before I I do heat press the the new
name so we'll be back in a second okay and we are back as you can see I went
ahead and put the hoodie back on the heat press and I'm getting ready to
depress a new name let me grab my trusty Teflon sheet okay now that I've pressed
that for a few seconds I'm gonna go ahead and pull this backing off and so
now what I'm gonna do so I'm gonna put the camera down and I'm going to kind of
set this off at an angle so that way I'm not having to press the zipper and all
that and I get a nice nice application okay so now I got the hoodie on there
kind of how I want it all right I'm gonna go ahead and open this up
and there we are you can see that the vinyl is nice and pressed into the mid
