I replaced all my sail vinyl when I had the car painted a year ago...unfortunately one of the sails have a couple of air bubbles that have developed over the last year. I want to remove the vinyl and re-lay it down again.
My question...I should be able to get the vinyl up without hurting it...it was initially applied with 3M spray adhesive. I need to remove the glue off the car sail and the back of the vinyl. What is the best stuff to remove the glue on both surfaces without ruining the vinyl? Laquer thinner? Thanks |

Before you do that, try an old wallpaper trick. Put a SMALL hole in the middle of the bubble with a straight pin. Then, put a towel over the bubble and press for a couple of seconds with a hot iron. The iron heats up the glue, and usually reseals the bubble (and the hole).
If it doesn't work, you needed a new one anyway. |
