Stripping Numbers from a Replice

There's a fishsticks islanders jersey on ebay, was wondering how hard they are to strip the numbers off of. It's customized as a number that no one wore, and I'd have it turned into a Bertuzzi

Are you talking about the one with the DiPietro customization? If so, slimcutta speculated that stripping it would most likely be impossible.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just remembered that the DiPietro was an authentic, not a replica.

Anyway, you'd probably get more answers if you linked to it so the people with experience could look at it.

It's impossible for us to say with certainty of it would strip cleanly or not.  It all depends on how the stuff was applied and you can't really tell until you get your hands on the jersey and try to take the old stuff off.

Judging by what you can see from the removed letters, there will almost certainly be visible outlines of the numbers left over, due to the staining and fading of the material surrounding the numbers.  Much of this won't be covered by the new numbers, and you never know how much will come out with washing, treating with acetone, etc., so it's definitely a big risk.

Price is a factor too...its dirt cheap right now. A $12.50 chance at it cleaning up nicely is better than a $150 chance...
