JJM4 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 You know I figured something out this week that I really should have figured out years ago. Going North and South while stripping numbers is super quick and easy. But the east and west can be trickier. I always had issue cutting into the numbers with the seam ripper. Well guess what?? when you flip the seam ripper over so it's facing down if you will, it glides much easier than if it's faced upward. Talk about a guy not adapting, I've probably stripped 40 jerseys and just figured this out this past week.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Bob Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Not sure I follow Most times when I am stripping a jersey, I end up spinning it and by the time I'm done it looks like a spiral cookie my grandma used to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I’ve never been able to figure out why people act like stripping is so difficult. Popping the stitches takes 20 minutes. It’s the adhesive, if anything, that causes some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMkicks Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Any next steps recommendations for a first timer making a strip job attempt on an ultrafill jersey? All I have done so far is distich the kit and peel away. No solvents or heat was used.

Next steps would be using something like acetone/VLR/goo gone and a towel/toothbrush to scrub. Oh, and patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwsta4 Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 If anybody is still looking here… anyone have any luck/ideas on how to remove acetone stains? I stripped a jersey but there’s clearly some residue toward the outside of what I stripped. Tried rubbing it with more acetone and ran it through the wash twice. No luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck If the stain is from the acetone, then washing the jersey after the original acetone has already dried and set doesn’t seem to work, at least for me. What I’ve done is to hold the jersey under a faucet, wet the affected area with cold water, then apply a fairly generous amount of acetone, rub the wettened affected areas together for a few seconds, and then immediately rinse thoroughly with cold water BEFORE the acetone dries. You may have to repeat this, and you may end up getting a large portion of the jersey wet. After rinsing out all the acetone, hang dry. This has worked for me many times.

mdwsta4 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I’ll give that a shot. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used this exact method when I get discoloration from using Goof Off. Cold water is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwsta4 Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 That method appears to have worked. Thanks for the pointer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
