[Shop-talk] Removing Vinyl

[David Scheidt]

Unless your signs are on glass forget the razor. There's a plastic  
tool called a little chisler that s handy but failing that a good hard  
plastic bowl scrapper along with heat are the best. Glue goop is for  
after it comes off.

I'd call a few body and detail shops, to get an idea of what it costs.
