Removing an old iron-on can be done using heat and careful peeling. The YouTube video "How to Remove Iron On / Heat Transfer Vinyl" demonstrates a method using an iron and tweezers.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Heat the Iron-On: Set your iron to a cotton setting. Quickly apply heat to the iron-on design. Be careful not to scorch the fabric.
- Peel with Tweezers: Use tweezers to gently lift an edge of the iron-on.
- Roll and Peel: As you heat the vinyl, begin to roll it off the fabric, using the tweezers to assist. The heat loosens the adhesive, making it easier to peel.
Important Considerations:
- Work quickly to avoid damaging the fabric.
- Be patient and persistent.
- If residue remains, you may need to repeat the process or use an adhesive remover specifically designed for fabrics.
