How to Remove Vinyl Wrap: A Simple Guide
STEP 1
Find a clean, flat surface where you can work comfortably
STEP 2
Clean the surface of which the vinyl will be removed from to avoid any damage.
STEP 3
Starting at one corner of the wrap use your heat gun to warm the material in a back-and-forth motion which will loosen the adhesion.
STEP 4
Access your plastics utility knife and carefully get a corner of the vinyl started.
STEP 5
Slow begin peeling the vinyl at a 45 degree angle, keeping hands close to the surface. Make sure to heat periodically keep the material warm as you move along the surface.
