ferro39 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 does anyone know how to do it? i have a couple of champion basketball jerseys that were signed and it looks like they were washed a few times, so the blue ink has soaked through to the inside of the jersey ive tried a bunch of things and the only thing that seems to be doing anything is nail polish removal and the difference is still negligible. im just concerned because the # is starting to crack from all of the crap im putting on it and from scrubbing it with a tooth brush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimcutta Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Use acetone (the active ingredient in nail polish remover) and remove the number completely, then have a new one screen printed back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferro39 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 the # more or less came off, but the glue residue is still on the jersey. will acetone help take that off? i tried some goo-be-gone, but it didnt do much. is goof off that much better?

slimcutta Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Acetone will disolve plastics and rubber, don't think it does a lot on adhesives. I've only ever used goof off 2, as noted in my Sutter write-up - http://forums.icejer...?showtopic=3831 for both stains and adhesives. I've used it successfully on other 2 jerseys to remove a few numbers that were stuck, as well as the remaining adhesive (took a while). Note - I've only every used it on ultrafil and air-knit. Brilliant! was saying that the original goof-off will hurt certain fabrics, so test whatevery you use, first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
