Glue Nightmare

[Zazzess]

taking adhesive off of a soft plastic is tough - especially if its solvent adhesive - anything that will cut through the adhesive will most likely soften/warp/marr the PVC

I understand...

I appreciate that you take time to help me

Merci

Rapid remover, clean after with rapid tac then reapply graphic.

Yeah that is what I'm thinking of doing right now...

what else ((( loll

yes, becarefull not to mark/destroy the pvc by using the adhesive remover to much or even with to much pressure, you can soften/warp the pvc as jhill says.

 

[Zazzess]

what about my technic to apply the whole thing...
is it okay ? is there something better to do ?

Thanks again everyone I SO appreciate

i say still salvageable via adhesive remover. I think they're citrus-based, so you might be able to try scrubbing with lemon juice if you can't get your hands on the chemical.

oh ! interesting !

 

[Zazzess]

is there a way to take the vinyl off easily ?
what I do is I pull the harder I can and cut piece by piece until it's finish...
it hurts doing it like that... :shy:

you did good, I also prefer the "book hinge" when applying large graphics that I can't use a normal hinge on

 

[rushworks graphics]

if removing the vinyl, use some low heat, it helps alot when removing. as far as appling the vinyl, using the hinge method as you do is great.

your going to spend a lot more time (waste more time) trying to "fix" this than it would take to do it all over correctly. Make a clean start.

Ok !! I'm getting prepare to get through this ! Thanks for your help and support

I think you are right.
But I'm sad to tell that I don't have what I need to get a clean start without wasting more time on this...

What I would need: more sintras, the right cleaning/removal products, a heater, ... lemon juice lol...

 

[MikePro]

what if you didn't remove anything?

...and just covered your error'd side with black vinyl to hide what you've done, and apply a new graphic to the other side of the panel?

skip the lemon juice if you don't have it handy, get real adhesive remover if you're making a shopping list
you can sub. a hair dryer for the heater as well.

I so like this idea !! Lets see if it's reasonable...

You are right Mike
