    I’ve just destickered all four sides from a Luton van, a steamer is hands down the best method!

    Thank you so much for this video. I'm selling my transit and needed the sign writing off. I used a £25 titan wallpaper steamer and it's amazing all the glue has gone aswell. Thankyou.

    I have just followed your instructions on the removing vinyl lettering and stripes on my van and I can only say thank you for such good advice. Also meths works great but not finished yet as it has just got dark.

      I am so glad it worked for you as it does for me, I previously spent a full day of hard work on taking the sign off and now am so glad I can share this great way to get the writing off 😀

    Just tried this on full wrap with laminate vinyl and it leaves loads of glue on the van, resorted to a heat gun and got much better results. I do think this steamer would be ok for lettering or small partial stickers though and not a full wrap. Thanks for posting.

    • @johnliput
      @johnliput  3 роки тому +4

      Not used it on a full wrap.
      I have taken lots sign writing off vans and the steamer is twice as fast as heat gun for me and the glue is an issue with both methods, that's my personal opinion only. Thanks for your comment 👍 🙂

    Good video, but a horrible moment at 2:46 when you said "now then" and sounded exactly like Jimmy Saville!

    Methylated spirit is definitely the best at getting glue off 👍

    • @johnliput
      @johnliput  3 роки тому

      Yes it's great, I use 100% alcohol as well it gets everything off but meths is easier to buy for sure
