Whether you're a t-shirt printing rookie or a seasoned veteran, everyone makes mistakes
when decorating apparel.
So in this week's Tip Jar we're going to show you how you can save those ruined garments
with Stahls' Lettering Solvent Remover.

Here I've heat applied my design with ThermoFilm and as you can see I forgot to capitalize
the first letter of my name.
This will show you how you can save a garment when the name is wrong.
I'll start by using my Stahls' Lettering Remover Solvent and a plain white cloth.

To make sure there's no fading in the garment, make sure to test the solvent first in an
inconspicuous spot.
I've chosen under the arm.

Now I'll moisten my cloth and begin to wet the back of the vinyl letter.
To make sure I only get the "T", and not the rest of my design I'm using my hand on the
front as a guide.

Once the back of the letter is moistened, I can begin to peel off the front of the letter.

If you have any residue left over, simply rub the letter remover solvent over the adhesive
and the rest should come right off.

Now to complete my garment I'll heat apply the correct letter.

To make sure that I line up the letter with the rest of the name, I'm going to use a ruler
as a guide.

That's it....we've saved one shirt.

Now what about those mistakes were a piece of vinyl stuck to the carrier and was actually
heat applied like we've done here.
Fixing this mistake is actually much easier then making another shirt...just watch.

Again I take my Stahls Lettering Remover Solvent and test it in an inconspicuous spot to ensure
that there's no color fade on my shirt.

Using a cotton swab, I'm going to wet the back of the unwanted vinyl and then I'll be
able to peel it off.

Again, we were able to save a shirt in only a matter of seconds.
