pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Use a hair dryer or heat gun on the old velcro to soften the adhesive, then pull it off slowly. It should peel away easily. Use Goo Gone to remove the residue. You may also want to consider using snap plates and elastic or even the new wire hooks to strap your armor together if you want to upgrade it.

juanverde Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Wire hooks ? Panda please explain... a search turned up nada. Sorry to hijack. I'd test that goo begone on a piece that you wouldn't see. I'd be afraid of the chemicals softening and marring the armor. There are some citrus adhesive removers (supposedly non-toxic) that might work - but again, I'd try them on an inconspicous spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnsy Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Furniture Polish, Mr Sheen does the job. Spray it on leave it for 20 mins and then rub off. Some say it may damage or discolour the armour, but I used this method extensively on my kit a few months back and it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
