Stripping the vinyl veneer off monitor 10's

[athos56]

Anybody have any ideas on stripping the vinyl veneer off of some monitor 10's? I experimented on an extra 5jr I had and it seems like a chore with just a razor blade.

You'll need a heat gun to release the adhesive. Good luck!

ahh a heatgun, and then it will just peel off or will some razor work still be nessesary? Thanks

Heat a little area at a time, peel back the loose stuff and repeat until done. No razor needed.

ditto ditto ditto...
let the heat do the work... if the vinyl tears a razor blade does help get you going again
I personally like to get the vinyl nice and soft.. start with a corner away from you and pull the vinyl back over itself... I suck at putting things into words basically what i am trying to convey is that the finish sides of the vinyl almost touch as you pull it off. Avoid the temptation of rocking the vinyl side to side it can stretch the material and make it more prone to rip. take your time and keep it warm. a hairdryer will work if its a hot one. you can even pre heat the vinyl with a clothes iron to get it going .
Good luck let us know how you made out.
