Overlay Removal

Overlay Removal

I have a vci-100 with an old overlay. I was wondering what the best strategy to remove this overlay would be. Thanks

i’ve been asking myself the same question lately :wink:

probably heat to loosen the glue (not too much heat though) and solvent to remove the glue residue.

is the glue residue really a problem?

I was a car spray painter in a past life, so my opinion is if your going to do it do it properly, but if you replace it straight away glue residue shouldn’t be a problem, but I wouldn’t know from experience as in those circumstances I would always remove the glue. There may be a problem with the old glue oxidizing, becoming hard and loosing its stickyness, this may prevent adhesion of the new glue layer, again just guessing but that is what I used to have to do when removing vinyl stickers from cars to replace them… It never occured to me to ask why LOL
