Brilliant! Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 It'll be glued. I highly doubt it will come off clean. You're probably better off just leaving it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroFishOne Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Has anyone seen this type of glue before. I have tried goo gone and it doesnt do a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Maybe goof-off? Thats pretty funky looking. It looks like it would almost peel off? Have you tried ironing with a shirt over top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroFishOne Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 It will almost peel off in tiny tiny pieces except for the stuff on the arms. I've tried the t shirt iron technique and it it almost smoke hit and it just turns the stuff clear and lightly sticky. I thought about trying the boiling water technique. I'm just wondering how acetone is going to break it down when it seems so strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Yeah I would do goof off and start on the sleeves. It should break it down and youll have to wipe it off and absorb it onto the rag youre wiping with. It will be a pain but I bet you can get it.

AeroFishOne Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Goof off didn't hurt it at all. Took an iron straight to the glue and was about the only way the hard clue would break. Still didn't do much of anything to the glue after that. Hopefully I didn't scorch the fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 There is a difference between Goof-off and Goo Gone. If you used the spray can Goof Off and it didnt work, then you might be in a hole. I dont think Goo Gone would do anything for that stuff.

jchockey Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Long-time IJ fan, first post here. Probably covered before, but a lot of the pics from the earlier pages of the thread don't seem to exist anymore. My problem: have a Geno Malkin Winter Classic (the baby blue vs. Buffalo version) that had an 'A' on it. Malkin didn't have an 'A' at the Classic so I took it off, but it seems like the letter was heat-pressed on a little before getting stiched. I've taken the letter off, but there seems to be some white glue residue still on the jersey. You can faintly see the outline of where the A used to be. My question: how do I get rid of that residue without ruining the jersey? Any help/tips appreciated! Thanks. EDIT: Never mind, found the HEAT SEAL thread... though as a first-time user of acetone, any helpful tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimcutta Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 A lot of folks are terrified the first time, especially with ink when they start cleaning an area if/when they use a large amount all at once, and the acetone spreads everything out. At first it'll seemingly make things worse. When breaking down adhesive or ink, acetone will spread the colors around depending on the area you cover. Put the acetone in a small bowl, and just grab a soft toothbrush and dip a bit at a time, and start scrubbing a small area. Work your way out as you go, and you'll get used to it. The one thing I find is that it dries relatively quick, and if you let it dry it'll create a circle similar to a water stain. After I've done a small area, I'll go over the edges of that area with new/fresh acetone, just before cleaning/rinsing the entire area to try avoid the dried water spot effect. Trial and error, dude - you'll get the hang of it. FYI - the pics are missing because stupid webshots went down, and I haven't uploaded all the pics to my new pic provider yet...I'm lazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropkickMurphy8 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I'm going to attempt my first strip job in about a week. I have the seam ripper, just trying to find Goof Off and then I'm gonna go to work. I'll update here during/after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValleyParade Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 So how hard would stripping a Premier be? I'm thinking of grabbing one of the cheap Thomases or Seguins from fullmoon on ebay to turn into a Ference. Sort of want to replace the shoulder patches as well.

thebiggoalie Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 So how hard would stripping a Premier be? I'm thinking of grabbing one of the cheap Thomases or Seguins from fullmoon on ebay to turn into a Ference. Sort of want to replace the shoulder patches as well. I wouldn't bother. Those are factory customized, and the glue would be impossible to remove without leaving something behind. You can find a blank premiere cheap enough for any team on eBay if you look hard enough.

shandy_man Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Out of curiosity, has anyone tried stripping a Pro Nike Swift Jersey and cleaning it up? It's such a different material and wasn't sure if the stitch marks would hang around or if any acetone would ruin the colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Stripping a Swift jersey is a nightmare. That stuff will show EVERYTHING and you can't iron it because the crappy material will melt under the heat of the iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandy_man Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Thanks for the info Brilliant! Just what I though. I guess I'll save myself the troubles of investing in one to re-do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemalin Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Do you think it would be easy to strip this jersey ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOS-ANGELES-AUTHENTIC-KINGS-JERSEY-SIZE-52-/200948144404?pt=U_Hockey_Fan_Shop&hash=item2ec9715914 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, maybe that jersey is more rare/difficult to find/expensive than I am aware, in which case maybe it's worth the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomakius Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I have a Rangers McDonagh jersey that I bought off NHL.com. Problem is they made the "C" capital. Is is possible to strip that "C" and replace it with a lowercase one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiggoalie Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Oh my GOD. That is a prime example of why you never buy anything from NHL.com. The whole name is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 If you got a replica, you probably got the heat-pressed (non-stitched) screened customization, right? If so, almost nobody except for NHL.com (fortunately) seems to use that type of lettering, so you'd probably have to send it back to them to have it done, if you want it to match. It remains to be seen how easy it will be to actually remove the C- stitched twill characters would probably be a lot easier to remove than that heat-pressed rubbery crap they use.

CJ Matthews Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 You'd be better off returning it for a refund if you can and buying one somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
