That worked amazingly!!! I need this, I messed up a shirt last night and went to buy a whole new shirt... that starts to get expensive over time. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for posting this - I'm shiny new to vinyl and had bought this stuff on recommendations from other videos - but had no idea how to use it. I need to remove some messed up lettering from some hats one of my friends wanted us to do for them - I like your presentation and the information you've shared.
That was really cool. I have two sets of towels that I pressed for a customer and my partner assumed that the client wanted both towels printed with her name, not the case. So now I need to remove a name that was printed by mistake and hopefully save the work that I put into that order. I ordered my VLR and hopefully it will work in the towel. Thank you for the video.
THANK YOU! Had a lettermen's jacket that I needed to fix and you broke it down Barney style for me. This stuff worked like a charm. kudos to you my friend.
Had to stop by again & say thank you! I .....FINALLY ordered the VLR & it's definitely a MUST HAVE! I've wasted so many tees & this time almost a hoodie. But, I'm finally on the right track. Keep the vids coming! ;)
I took red vinyl off of 2 white sweat shirts without any issues but I didn’t film it. I only use VLR when I make mistakes so if I mess up again I will try to remember to film it.
Thanks TshirtChick! I am new to the shirt making business and I made the mistake of taking orders before confirmation and ended up making a bunch of shirts! Now I know I can use this VLR and be able to restock my inventory!
Thanks for the review. I’ve looked at this product several times but decided to use the hot iron method instead. It works but I need to save 3 shirts and I don’t think the iron is going to allow me to use the shirts for totally different designs.
I love your videos but if you use a regular iron on high settings you can remove without all those harmful chemicals, thanks for the videos and keep up the good work...
I did a video on that years ago and yes it did remove the letters but it left a shiny residue on the shirt that did not look good so I would never give something like that to a paying customer. The vinyl remover works a lot better and unless someone is drinking that it shouldn't be too harmful.
Wow... that’s so awesome... I messed up a hat where I used HTV glitter vinyl.. I wonder how that would work on the hat because you can’t stretch the hat..
It should still work you would just have to peel it off. The instructions don't even say stretch it but it just makes it a little easier you don't have to peel up each edge when you stretch it because it begins to come off just from being stretched.
TshirtChick ok... thanks Sin.. question:?? the other week you did a video where you shared a few of you business info. It included the prices for 1 color design for 1-10 shirts... and so on.. my question is would you share with me a copy of your business practices that I may use as an example to create my own..I very new at this at need all the help I can get..
I am not 100% sure but I don't think so but if vinyl is in the screen and won't come out it will probably damage the screen so it wouldn't hurt to try it out. If you try it please let me know the result.
Great video. I’m wondering once you rewet the shirt like when customer washes if it reactivates the chemical? Has anyone had personal experience with this?
Thank you for this video I had purchased some of that remover because I messed up on 4 hoodie and it worked but I have a question I’m looking through the video and I’m trying to find out what kind of vinyl paper is that you’re using
I don't remember which one I used this video is pretty old but it was probably some stahls or some of that ebay vinyl I did the video about years ago. Thanks for watching
YW! It really works! The company does not pay me but they asked if it was ok to use my video on their website a few years ago. I'm not sure if they are still using it though.
Thank you:) you answered all the questions I have been asking! This is exactly what I need for those oops moments, and I have had a few of those over time. Thank you again:)
Sin, it appears that worked quite well! May I ask what type of vinyl was used in this recording ? I cycle between siser ez weed and stahls premium plus.
Ibought a denim skirt off ebay. I did not know it had large vinyl print patterns on the skirt - it is not thick vinyl like tshirt letters. Do you know if this will remove thin vinyl as well? Thank you fir your video. Its great to know there is something available.
I don't know what the actual print is on the skirt but if it's Heat transfer vinyl this stuff should remove it. Links below the video if you decide to purchase.
Two suggestions, One put a piece of thick cardboard between the shirt so the chem doesn't go through. and two I would have washed the shirt before reprinting it
It dries so fast you shouldn't need to use cardboard and it doesn't leave a smell or anything you should not have to wash it unless you just want to do extra.
The instructions didn't say anything about washing it out so I don't think so. After it dries it does not have a smell or anything and it dried really quickly.
I also saw that if you can see a shadow kind of from where the previous vinyl was, that you can just rub the spots like if you were doing a stain scrub thing. Sometimes darker colors seem to show the previous image.
I never wash shirts before I give them to customers. I don't know if it's just me but I wouldn't want to buy a shirt that someone had washed. If it's supposed to be new I want to be the first to wash it.
I started with HTV a week ago just for fun, bought a heat press and a cameo4 craft plotter. Then i bought 5 different sheets of HTV from 5 different brands (Siser, Stahls, Poli Tape, Chemica) and pressed small fonts on an old T-shirt i found, its 95% cotton and 5% elastan. I wanted this to torture it as a test object how durable HTV is. What i noticed after the the first wash was that some edges of letters were slighty "curled". When you swipe with your finger over the fonts you cold feel the sharp edges of the letters, maybe that is normal, i dont know. After the 2nd wash the chemica Hotmark font i pressed was badly knitted and curled, looked terrible. I was curious and i tried to rip it off when it was still wet and i was able ti rip the fonts off the shirt. I was curious about the other fonts i pressed from the other brands and i was able to rip those off the shirt as well, i am a bit dissapointed now. I thought the HTV would like melt into the fibres but it just sticks on it with glue and you can rip it off with your hands, maybe that was because it was wet, i dont know. Maybe my shirt was old, it was a thinner fabric. I mean my heat press is not that bad and i pre pressed and even gave a 2nd press. The fonts showed the typical pattern of the fabric, so i guess it was pressed correctly. The pressue was allright i would say. I even checked the temperature with an IR thermometer. Of course you needed some force to rip the HTV away but not that much. Greetings from germany
TshirtChick I understand that, but I didn’t know if you needed to wash the chemical out that REMOVED the vinyl.... if it would affect how the new vinyl would stick.... but, I guess it does fine?
@@aymeeflood3340 EXACTLY what I was wondering..will it adhere to that area...and what happens when it becomes wet again like when you wash it. Does the new vinyl come off?
How long has that vinyl been on that shirt? Some videos I've seen the vinyl has been on there for a long time it would be harder to lift the vinyl and also leave a stain where the vinyl used to be. Also, suppose you had made a small mistake and just need to remove that area or letter, do you still have to wash the whole shirt?
I have two questions. 1: Did you try this with imprinted HTV? (For my part, I did try it with imprinted HTV and the solvent makes the imprinted ink liquid. Making it easy to stain the shirt with the ink from the imprinted vinyl). 2: Did you ever have this situation? (I tried VLR remover on older HTV'ed shirts (Gildan) and the VLR Remover left a "water stain" were the remover had been.
@@z41nhuddz63 tested it and it did leave residue bro. I eventually shipped out my jersey to someone in Mexico who was able to do the work for me (residue free)
@@oscarr.7352 who bro? I’ve ordered 10 Man Utd shirts from China with sancho 7 on the back planning to sell them on Facebook ( this was before sancho was announced as number 25) and I need to take off the name and number off the back to sell them
The new Albachem vinyl remover is crap compared to the old formulation. It causes ringing, color shifting to the fabric, leaves adhesive behind, most of which the old formulation didn't do. There is no way that a Gildan green shirt (Electric/Neon/Lime) in cotton or 50/50 did not ring or have color-shifting under proper lighting conditions (aka sunlight)...
You just watched the video and saw the same thing that me and everyone else saw I have no reason to lie I do not work for or with Albachem so I do not get paid from them and I purchased this VLR with my own money I have the unboxing video posted where I ordered it from and I paid for it myself. This video shows the 1st time I ever used this product and I had been printing shirts for years before I even knew something like this existed I used to just replace shirts if I mad a mistake. This channel is about real t-shirt printing I don't get anything out of lying to people because If I lie people will eventually stop watching/following so It's better for me to tell the truth about everything. I'm not here for drama or negativity I'm here trying to help people and the only way I can help is by showing my own experiences. I can't go by other peoples experiences. Maybe u used a different type of vinyl than I did or maybe you didn't use the product the same way I used it. IDK what the reason was for your results because you didn't do a video of it to show what happened so I really can't offer any advise to you for your situation. You should post a video showing your experience using the product.

Hi Cali!! Good luck & Thanks for watching!
Great video! I was intimidated to use this stuff after buying but now I’m good. Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome! It's nothing to it but to do it don't let anything about the t-shirt business intimidate you.

Yes, I have used it on sweat shirts a couple of times.

Perioddd boutta try it out just came in the mail
Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Can you use AlbaChem VLR to remove vinyl from screens?
I am not 100% sure but I don't think so but if vinyl is in the screen and won't come out it will probably damage the screen so it wouldn't hurt to try it out. If you try it please let me know the result.
Hi just curious. Do you use a cricut to cut the vinyl. This is an excellent video. Thank you!
No, both cutters I own are Roland
Great video. I’m wondering once you rewet the shirt like when customer washes if it reactivates the chemical? Has anyone had personal experience with this?
I have not had any complaints about it

YW! It really works! The company does not pay me but they asked if it was ok to use my video on their website a few years ago. I'm not sure if they are still using it though.
This is a great video, but please if you use this, be sure to wear goggles and gloves (normal latex gloves work fine) as it is a harsh chemical!
Thank you:) you answered all the questions I have been asking! This is exactly what I need for those oops moments, and I have had a few of those over time. Thank you again:)

Can this be used on vinyl that was put years ago? Like a logo on an outdoor umbrella?
The instructions say use within 24 hours if I remember correctly. It may still work though
So you don't have to wash the chemical out before pressing to other design on?
The instructions didn't say anything about washing it out so I don't think so. After it dries it does not have a smell or anything and it dried really quickly.
TshirtChick That is really good then. That's must a purchase!!! Thanks for the review video.
I also saw that if you can see a shadow kind of from where the previous vinyl was, that you can just rub the spots like if you were doing a stain scrub thing. Sometimes darker colors seem to show the previous image.
Do you wash the garment after using the VLR before putting more vinyl on?

Fantastic review - thank you so very much!
Thank u for watching
What if you used water and then stretch it to see if that will work?
Try it and let me know what happens.
Always love your videos. Thank you!!
Thanks for watching Naomi!
Was the shirt 100% cotton because I tried with a polyester shirt and it just melt the vinyl and smeared up the shirt.

Is VLR safe to use on facemasks? Does it have a smell or dangerous chemicals to inhale?
I have used it on a face mask for my nephew without any issues. It dries fast and has no smell when it’s dry.
So, you dont have to wash the shirt before re-applying vinyl? I would've thought the VLR would keep new vinyl from sticking...
No, I never wash any shirts that I print for the customers I always print brand new shirts for them.
TshirtChick I understand that, but I didn’t know if you needed to wash the chemical out that REMOVED the vinyl.... if it would affect how the new vinyl would stick.... but, I guess it does fine?
@@aymeeflood3340 EXACTLY what I was wondering..will it adhere to that area...and what happens when it becomes wet again like when you wash it. Does the new vinyl come off?
Does this work on polyester? Like a soccer shirt or is it too strong?
Yes, I have used it on some shirts that I print for a restaurant when I put the wrong name on the wrong size shirt.
How long has that vinyl been on that shirt? Some videos I've seen the vinyl has been on there for a long time it would be harder to lift the vinyl and also leave a stain where the vinyl used to be. Also, suppose you had made a small mistake and just need to remove that area or letter, do you still have to wash the whole shirt?
I have never washed a shirt before I give it to customers. They are expecting new shirts if it has been washed I don't consider it new anymore.

Is it smells ? I want to rebrand a shirt and remove the original vinyl label and want to make sure it won’t smell 😂
Once it dries it has no smell
Does this work on removal for hoodies?
Yup
How does this work with printable vinyl?
I have never used it on printable vinyl but I think it will work. It just removes the adhesiveness from the vinyl and you are able to peel it off.

How to get the white residue off ? I used this but now it’s a white outline and I’ve rubbed it and hand washed it 😩🤦🏾♀️
It didn't have any residue when I used it.
I found the solution .. after using it and removing the vinyl .. just heat press over it and all residue is gone.. trial and error showed me this !
Thank you so much!
Do it work for bags
It should. The way it works is by breaking down the vinyl so I'm thinking that any material that the vinyl will stick on it should work on.

can I use it on htv vinyl on bathing suits?
