Ordering your vinyl lettering online is highly recommended as it provides a wider range of font styles, color options, and size selections compared to vinyl lettering available at stores like Hobby Lobby and Michaels. We must inform you that applying Hobby Lobby vinyl lettering can be challenging, and there are numerous reviews indicating that they do not adhere well. At Alphabet Signs, we ensure that your order is shipped within one business day and offer fast, free shipping on all orders over $25. In contrast, brick and mortar stores often have a limited selection of colors and sizes, with inventory that may be dried out or not meet your preferences.

The American Boating Association provides valuable tips for removing old lettering from surfaces. It is advisable to use a method that involves scraping and using soapy water, as it is generally safe for a variety of surfaces. Start by acquiring a scratch-free plastic scraper, which can typically be obtained from a local paint store. Additionally, you will need a solution composed of 1 cup of soap and 5-10 drops of dish liquid, with Palmolive being the recommended brand. This solution serves as a lubricant, protecting the surface from scratches and preventing the adhesive from reattaching.

1. Spray the decal with soapy water.
2. Position the scraper along the edges of the decal.
3. It should be as close to flat against the surface as you can get it.
4. Start lifting the edges of the decal to remove it.
5. Keep it saturated with soapy water by spraying it often.
6. Once removed, you'll use a solvent to remove any remaining adhesive.
7. Ask your paint store to give you a recommendation on what solvent would work for your specific surface. Contrary to some beliefs, do not try to use gasoline for this as it is highly flammable and could cause a fire.
