The big question is right after it mostly dry... that water stain or slight discoloration compared to the original fabric. What’s the best way to get the discoloration /water marks to go away? A quick rinse cycle in washer or?
@@HanksMakerMentor it’s a thicker black poly cotton blend and we’re looking n the middle of rinsing / washing without drying a few times to try and dilute or wash away the stain makes from the solvent. I’ve had it happen in smaller doses before and was a able to hand rinse it away by doing multiple layers of water on a hat. This seems more tedious though. They’re claim that it won’t leave any residue marks is bogus, though.
I'm sorry it is making it so difficult to remove those marks. VLR does not do a perfect job. I haven't used it enough to see a pattern on when and why it happens. Can you put a larger design to cover the marks?
Does this remove the vinyl letters and the discoloration from the adhesive underneath? I have an article of clothing where some of the vinyl letters have peeled off and I want to remove all of them but the areas where the vinyl has peeled off are discolored.
Thanks for watching! It does a sufficient job depending on the vinyl and the clothing. Most of the time, it is all removed. Some vinyl on light colored fabric stains the fabric. You will probably need to use a cloth to rub VLR directly on the adhesive.
Any use of chemicals needs to be an informed decision by an individual. What is fine for me might not work for someone else. I looked at the Material Safety Data for VLR. Skin is probably less of concern and might need medical attention. It can cause 'serious eye irritation' and you need to receive medical attention.

That's a great question Brandon. I'm not sure. What color and type of material is your blank?

Thank you. How long after removal should I wait to iron on again?
Thanks for watching! You can use the VLR, preheat the blank, then press your design right away.
VLR Vinyl Remover - To Wash or Not to Wash?

Here is my video about experimenting with it
I would think we would need to wash it before applying more iron on, since the remover is the last thing on the material
I would have thought so too. That is why I tested it in this video. ruclips.net/video/fEHep221w_w/видео.html

What does VLR stand for?
Thanks for watching! It stands for Vinyl Letter Remover.
Where do I buy it
I bought mine on Amazon since I was unable to find it at my local stores.

It did not work for me.
What type of vinyl were you trying to remove?
