AlbaChem Original VLR Heat Transfer Letter Removing Solvent for Fabrics (20 Fluid Ounces)

I needed some in a hurry to use to remove some vinyl from a tee shirt. A customer brought a shirt in that had a huge mistake on it and it needed fixed within two days but the shirt couldnt be replaced. We ordered this product and removed the messed up vinyl in minutes. When using this product we use plastic or I white folded canvas under it because it will cause dark color fabrics to bleed althought its not noticeable on the shirt itself. After using it on a black shirt it turned the work space black but you couldnt see that the color faded any from the garment. Also youll want to use gloves with this and work in a space with good air flow, the smell is strong and difficult to breath in. Also Id recommend that you turn the garment inside out and apply there first and if needed only a small amount on the actual top of the vinyl if that doesnt work. Keep in mind it will remove everything near it as well if the liquid touches it so if you arent planning to remove large sections do this carefully.

When I saw the video, I was very skeptical whether it will work or not since it's hard to remove annoying vinyl label. This past weekend, I grabbed 9 polo shirts and tried one by one. Wow! I didn't have to wait for long time to soak the solution to my polo. Applied the solution and removed the label in few seconds. However, since all 9 polo shirts are not the same, the result is little different. For thick label, actual works much better. I could literally peeled off the label. But for thin label, this solution kind of melting the whole label so no time to peel off. I think I could use tooth brush to clean very well for the residue, but it was good enough for me. It's inside of my polo and didn't damage the outside. My guess is that this would work much better for new clothes with thick label before any wash. Also, this bottle is so big that I think I can remove at least 100 more polo labels so I will buy any kind of polo shirts. BTW, I wear polo shirts for all seasons.

This was AMAZING! I had made an error on a sweatshirt by putting glitter vinyl on flock vinyl. Not realizing that it will not hold long term. Obviously it started peeling but I couldn't get all of it to come off. After googling what to do in this situation. VLR was recommended. I must say I am not disappointed at all. It works quick and was off within 5 minutes. Make sure to saturate it on both the front and back sides. This stuff took off 3 layers of vinyl(glitter, flock, and regular HTV). Will never use anything else. I did have to wash the sweatshirt because it has a strong acetone scent but it is well worth it for the outcome.

Works great for small mess ups, not ideal for large or full image removal as it leaves some residue.

I ordered the VLR because I messed up one shirt and didn’t want to waste another. I ordered it at the end of September I believe BUT didn’t need to use it until last week. It did not work at ALL!! I’m very disappointed and I just noticed that the “return date has closed” well I can’t use it if I don’t need it right away. I’ve tried multiple times and the residue does not come off at all!! I’ve YouTubed this product for months before purchasing and I am Very disappointed and would just like to have my money back. I’d be happy to send it back. I took a pic as well.... please make this right. Only gave 1 star because I had to :(

I needed to get a fairly large (18”x10”) htv decal off 2 nylon chairs (decal had been on the chairs for a year or so). I poured some VLR on the backside of the letters & after a 15-20 seconds the letter peeled away! If you let the VLR set on the htv too long it’s as if the vinyl melts & it’s a mess. However, as mentioned in the directions, a little on a dry rag will clean up any “melted” vinyl or the few small stubborn spots that didn’t come off in the initial try. The nylon material was black & the htv letters were white & when I finished there was no sign of there ever being a decal on the chair. Will definitely use again.

I ordered this a while back and forgot about it. Today, I made a mistake while making milestone onesies for my niece. I had to either remove the vinyl or by 13 new onsies. Tonight, I remembered I had this product and pulled it out. It worked like magic. You can still see the shadow of where the htv was, but I haven't washed them yet. Once the liquid dried, there is no smell at all, but since these will be going on a baby, I'm going to wash them anyway. I hope this doesn't evaporate now that the can has been opened.

turned orange after a few weeks and ruined some shirts
