How to Remove Vinyl Graphics

By Business & Finance Last updated Thursday, April/18/2024

1). Heat a small corner of the vinyl graphic with a hair dryer. The heating process will loosen the adhesive underneath the vinyl, which in turn aids the removal process. Continue heating the corner until a visual separation of the vinyl and surface appears.
2). Separate the heated corner of the vinyl graphic with your fingernail when dealing with painted surfaces. Separate the heated corner using a razor blade scraper when removing window glass decals.
3). Continue to heat the vinyl with the hair dryer while carefully peeling the vinyl from the surface with your fingers. Peel off the vinyl in a slow manner to lessen the chance of breaking the decal during the removal process.
4). Remove any residual adhesive from the surface with clean nonabrasive cloths and liberal amounts of denatured alcohol to finish the process. You may also use a specialized vinyl adhesive removal product to clean off the residual glue; read the manufacturer's instructions and make sure that the removal product is compatible with the surface before use.
