Should it only be used if there is vinyl sideart underneath? I guess I'll have to read up a bit more to see what might bring back my Mortal Kombat sideart. :) --- End quote --- Right. It removes the glue and paint, but not vinyl sideart. However, that's operating under the assumption that the sideart underneath is in good condition. If the sideart is already worn, the Goof Off might affect it too. --- End quote --- Thanks. Seeing as its covered it horribly spraypainted black paint, who knows what the sideart looks like... but there's only one way to find out :) |

Here's a tip for yall trying to take paint off of vinyl sideart. I figured this out last night. If you use a new plastic scraper rather than rubbing the paint off, you stand a better chance of preserving the sideart underneath. Rubbing grinds that Goof Off into the surface of the vinyl and pulls the color right out of it. Be careful with the scraper too, though. You don't want to mark the surface of your side art by scraping too hard. Let the Goof Off do the work. Don't be stingy with the Goof Off in spots that still have paint. Be cautious in the areas where the paint has already been removed. The trick is to get all the paint off the first time. That means using enough Goof Off. If you have to sit there and work it, the sideart has a better chance of coming up. Hope this helps!! |

Goo Gone is acrylic safe! Here is my cleaned up marquee after removing 7 Texas tax stickers. The stickers would leave a foil with the word void over and over and they covered at least 75% of the marquee face. I put the marquee face down in a puddle of Goo Gone in a makeshift tin-foil pan while I ate dinner. It took a bit of scraping with a plastic scraper, but it did absolutely no damage to the plastic marquee. It came out great! |

I have some glue stock to a sheet of glass that refuses to come off --- End quote --- Lighter fluid (not butane). I've yet to see anything sticky that it couldn't take off. Evaportates with no residue too. |
