AlbaChem Heat Transfer Vinyl Remover for Fabrics 20 fl. oz

This solution works extremely well at removing vinyl and glue residue from garments. It’s super effective and requires very little effort—does the job with ease. Highly recommend for anyone working with vinyl!

The media could not be loaded. Pt 1 - This product works exceptionally well. I tried it as you see in this video on a thicker sweatshirt. That is a pretty nice material and the iron on was pretty new and it came off incredibly easily like a sticker and barely any glue if any stayed on the sweatshirt after peeling the iron on off. I did try it with several other shirts of different fabric types, fabric age, and iron on age, and I can definitely say that this product does do the job, how hard it will be to remove all of the iron on and glue residue does depend on how old/quality of the iron on and how old/quality of the fabric. Based on that it varies how much time I would let the solvent stay on the fabric/letters before I started peeling it off – on the sweatshirt I needed to put it on the back of the fabric stretch it out and then let it sit for maybe about 2 to 5 minutes and the iron came off just like a sticker without any/barely any residue left on the sweatshirt. However, for older shirts with pretty old irons, it was more difficult to remove the iron on as the top of the iron on with the coloring came off in little tiny particles so at that point, you would want to use the solve to remove the iron on in the glue, and then it would need a wash with a sweatshirt, however with the nice material and newer iron on, it came off incredibly easily, and I didn’t even need to wash it afterwards because the solving completely evaporated and I was able to get off all the glue, including any residue by following the instructions on the bottle – aside from instead of putting the solvent on a rag to remove any residual residue from the front of the garment, after I removed the majority of the iron on, I put additional solvent directly on the glue on the top of the sweatshirt and used a rag to wipe it off, and it wiped off pretty easily. wishing I could include several videos in one post so I’ll be doing multiple posts to get all the information I found while using this product.

So, every person makes mistakes and when I started making things, I would say "oh, well...just shows it is handmade" since I was just learning and what I made was given away anyways. When I got serious, I made a logo and jumped in with both feet. Well, I got to thinking about the logo after making a shirt for a teacher. Logos are meant to show who made an item and hiding it wouldn't be doing that. And my logo was a little "not kid friendly". I went in search on how to remove HTV. I use Siser Easy Weed HTV and they themselves recommended this product. Now don't get me wrong, I tried the other tricks first like reheating it and they didn't work for me. Fast forward to now. I made an error in a paid for product and it had to be fixed. There was no scraping this as it was a big piece. I bit the bullet and pulled out everything I needed to fix that I had been storing and jumped in with both feet. I was a little nervous about the product after reading some of the reviews on it and similar products and had been putting off using it. But this had to be fixed. Read the directions and then said wait, what happens when I reapply the HTV? Will this product not make it adhere? Lucky for you, I'm a super sleuth. I found the number and called. Here are my tips after using it:1. It is for HTV (heat transfer vinyl) - NOT screen prints3. Use well ventilated area (does have a slight chemical odor)4. Wear gloves if you have them (dried out my fingertips)5. I only punched a tiny hole in the top to get a more controlled drip for small jobs6. Drip onto a q-tip for small or delicate work (like removing just one letter)7. I placed old toweling thickly under image to protect work surface and other parts that weren't being removed8. Work from back out9. Saturate and then do it again10. Stretch fabric if possible, it helps make HTV release10.5. If you can't stretch due to location like when removing a typo, flip over and use q-tip to soak and pick at spot11. Flip over and image should peal right off12. If residue remains, you can add more solution to right side once all vinyl is gone13. Allow to completely air dry, solution evaporates (this is what I was told by company)14. Reapply HTV once area is dry. (If you are going to wash it, don't use fabric softener and air dry. Fabric softener can cause HTV to not adhere properly, rules for HTV application found online)Picture timeline (sorry out of order, got messed up when loaded):a) tiny hole in can top I made with tiny nail (don't use anything hot, it is flammable)b) image flipped inside out over clothsc) clean sleeve ready for new logod) image after fabric stretching, note the wrinklese) image after saturating twice, you can see the image isn't as flatf) old wash cloths, I did do a neon green and a dark blue before this white shirt and you can see no color bleedg) image before removingh) image just peeling off

This worked really well. The only issue is there is no red cap for the tip. So I used a 2 liter bottle cap to seal it while not in use

This product is a life saver when using HTV!! Works great and fast! Super easy to use. It does have smell so I advise using in open space or outside if possible. It only takes a small amount.

It works great to remove the vinyl but it definitely leaves vinyl residue. Very disappointing as the product claims to not leave residue. I tried multiple different things to try and see if I could use without getting residue. I put the stuff on the front and back of the design. I soaked the shirt. I waited for 2 mins. Then tried 3 minutes. Once the shirts are dry I’m going to wash them and see if that works.The bottle doesn’t come with a red tip, but the clear tip is a screw type, like a glue bottle.

I don't know how it works, but all those tagless tags were very annoying to deal with. I just poured out a tiny bit of this solution on the tag and it came right off! So easy and so strong! Very worth every penny spent!

This works like a miracle, Took the patch off my Hockey jersey in seconds and left little to no residue behind!I highly recommend this product!
