Door Pillar Vinyl

2nd June 2010, 13:11

Well, the vinyl had a few tears/holes in it and was generally looking abit untidy...

So, off it came.

Used a hairdryer to heat the vinyl up and slowly removed it.

Initially I used my palm to work off the remaining glue, then suddenly...

The glue took a clean layer of my skin off! It was attached to the door pillar and everything. One word...stinging!

Afterwards, I changed tactics, took more time removing the second vinyl as to make sure most of the glue came off with it and then used white spirit and a cloth to remove the rest.

I kind of like it actually, if I grow to hate it, then new vinyl's are only a few quid off eBay.

That is all.
