How to Remove Siser Vinyl From a T-Shirt

Heat-and-Wax-Paper Method

1). Cover the Siser vinyl graphic completely with wax paper.
2). Iron over the wax paper with an iron on a medium/high setting. Because Siser vinyl is heat-activated, the goal is to get the vinyl to transfer from the T-shirt to the wax paper.
3). Remove the wax paper carefully but quickly. Avoid pulling too fast and ripping the vinyl, or moving too slowly and allowing the vinyl to reattach to the T-shirt. If the shirt's cooled, re-iron the area and remove the wax paper.
4). Apply nail-polish remover or vinegar to a cotton ball and remove any residue left behind by the vinyl. First test the shirt on an inside hem to see if the polish remover or vinegar causes damage.

1). Turn the T-shirt inside-out.
2). Place a handkerchief or other thin cloth over the area with the graphic.
3). Iron the shirt on a medium setting for 15 seconds.
4). Use your fingers to check to see if the Siser vinyl is beginning to loosen. If it is, peel it with your fingers. Be careful; the garment will be hot. If the vinyl is firmly attached, iron the area for another 15 seconds.
5). Use a razor blade to remove the vinyl if the T-shirt gets too hot for your fingertips, or if the vinyl is resisting coming off.
6). Apply nail-polish remover or vinegar to a cotton ball to remove any residue from the vinyl. First test the shirt on an inside hem to see if the polish remover or vinegar causes damage.
