KB67 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I am tackling the same project tonight as well. There’s enough glue on there to hold anything they’d like. I’ll hit it with some Goo B Gone and some Acetone and hopefully it comes clean. Like you, I ordered one that would still be ok if it turned out to be worst case scenario, mine had a 67, and I’m putting on 87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrontYardSpecial Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 I've probably stripped around two dozen jerseys and have never encountered that much glue. Woof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was one I picked up with 44's in twill on the shoulders and back. Years later I decided to strip it and have EPS send me a vinyl Coffey kit for it. Gotta love those vintage CCM's. Hey yooooooooooooo! Nice job!! You're going to make me take pictures and post the sets I finally finished from that season, aren't you? **Thumbs up** On 2/19/2018 at 0:06 PM, LAK74 said: BITB’s jersey looks good to me. Back in the late 80’s, there were changes in the Penguins’ letter and number fonts, sometimes from set to set. If I’m not mistaken, the jersey pictured is made up as a 1987-88, and there were some game jerseys that year with a font just like that. Right! 87-88 indeed. The team used really thin numbers for the first half of the season, with any of the shoulder numbers having yellow/white color filling in any of the loops in the digits (with the exception of 0) depending on if they were home/away jerseys. After around some time in early February, they switched to rather thick numbers, and the shoulder numbers had any of those digit loops open up. The C/A also were different between sets, again growing in size for the later half of the season, and a 2-layer press just like the numbers. A few examples: Oct 87 - Feb 88: https://www.gettyimages.com/license/117092763https://www.gettyimages.com/license/91890547 Feb 88 - End of Season: http://www.gamewornauctions.net/products/1987_88_Mario_Lemieux_Pittsburgh_Penguins_Game_Worn_Jersey_Photo_Match-3568-101.htmlhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-Pittsburgh-Penguins-MARIO-LEMIEUX-PAUL-COFFEY-8x10-Photo-Hockey-Print/191734559752?hash=item2ca4453408:g:IVoAAMXQgPFRGhuN The 2nd set black jerseys were really hard to find detail for. I had to resort to mostly video, which I have at home. All cards and nearly all photos I've seen are from the first half of the season...which is a shame, because I like the look of the late season kits.

jsh139 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Here's an arrival. 2017-18 GW Robert Hagg from Eric Lindros's jersey retirement night. The Flyers went on to win that game in OT against the Leafs. Has a couple of nice marks and burns on it. Came unwashed . Also came with a nice pic that was signed by Lindros. Really excited to get this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pictures were after my first attempt. I focused my efforts on two small parts of the 6 that would be visible with an 8 over and barely noticed a difference. I'm going to attempt a second round probably this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always nice to see some cool old CCM jerseys and learn a thing or two. Coffey was popular enough to have plenty of pics and footage to look at so that helped out a lot. I wanted to be as accurate as possible with that '87-'88 because stripping it wouldn't be an option. One day I hope to find a Sandow or NIke Coffey that isn't a small fortune to buy.

This isn’t going well. The yellow from the glue spread when I put The Acetone on, and it didn’t come out good in the wash. I’m kinda s***ting bricks here now....

Brilliant! Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Remember, that crap is a chemical. The more you use it, the more it will cause discoloration. Especially on the white areas. I've seen leftover residue like that before. You're probably not getting it off clean. Sometimes it's just a lost cause.

I don't know if it will work but years ago a collector online had a similar situation with an air-knit jersey. He claimed he got a paint tray like you use for painting a house and filled it with acetone or some other remover and laid just the back part in the chemical and let it soak, checking it regularly. He claimed it did remove quite a bit of the color stain but did take quite a bit of time. Then he took a 50/50 mix of bleach and water, did the same and said he got pretty good results with no damage to the fabric. Unfortunately he didn't post pics. If you're a gambler it might be worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was something I planned on doing with two of my stripping projects in order to remove the massive amounts of glue that's left. Was concerned about damaging the fabric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're a gambler it might be worth a try. Try using an iron on the cotton setting. Use a lot of steam and make sure to use a white t shirt between the iron and the jersey. Then just press and move it around. The glue should come off onto the t-shirt. I've had succes in removing glue that way. Then if need be touch up with Goff off and throw in the wash then repeat with the iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But MFitz said that EPS told him that would push the glue further into the jersey fabric. Honestly, though, at this point anything is probably worth a try for this guy.

Hawks2797 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I have had success doing that. The glue doesn't necessarily work further in it comes off on the t-shirt. There still will be some left but if you hit that with Goof off that scrap off what you can, I like to use the backside of a butter knife to scrap off what I can. the Goof off/acetone will break it down. Then Wssh it and hit it with an iron again. Iron the t shirt over the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
