We all need to update our signage from time to time and I am frequently asked how to remove unwanted signage, in particular printed or cut adhesive vinyl. To remove adhesive vinyl, you will need a heat gun or if you don’t have one a high powered hair dryer will do. Heat the vinyl sufficiently enough until the adhesive on the back begins to melt thus allowing you to peel the vinyl off the applied surface.

Laminated vinyl will take a little more heating than cut vinyl and its best just to start on one area and work your way across.

You can remove all the excess adhesive with a goo remover or methylated spirits.  A razor blade will also assist this process. You should make sure that the surface is thoroughly clean before applying any new signage.
