How To Remove Your Nameset/Patches Using Dylan Stain Remover
Sometimes it is necessary to remove the wrong namesets or patches on the jersey that you've purchased. Many instance like for example, a wrong patch applied onto a jersey, you want to replace a replica sized patches with a player issue size one... In the past, the method was quite hard to do.. now thanks to the existence of some stain removers like Dylan's, we are able to do it.
That's the fun of DIY football jersey.
OK, there are a lot of stain removers that we can use to remove any nameset or patches. But for jerseyman's guide here, we will use Dylan Stain Remover that can be purchased locally at stores such as Tesco, Giant or other hypermarkets. You can see below that I found the stuff being sold at Tesco for RM10.70:

We will use the one which is 'for dry clean fabrics' as shown below:

Now, for today's experiment.. our guinea pig will be the Hull City 2009-2010 home jersey that I bought from Hull City's Online Store:

When I bought the jersey and found out that the BPL patches were replica sized (smaller compared to the normal player issue ones), I've decided to remove it and later apply a player issue one that is bigger onto the sleeves. Bare in mind that the disadvantages from this method is that there will be glue stains left from your jersey and unless your jersey is dark colour (black colour), the glue stains are obvious and can be seen.. So the best reason to do this, is to replace a wrong patches or nameset with a correct one.. but then again you have to know the consequences.. example the glue stains might still be seen... This is a probability though.. if the nameset has glue that is not strong enough (as strong as PU or lextra typed namesets/patches ) then there is a chance that we can remove it using this technique without leaving any glue stains...
So before you do this.. bare in mind this risk (of glue stains being left on the surface of the jersey after the patches/nameset has been removed).
Here are the steps:
1. Flip your jersey inside out (terbalikkan) and find the area where the patches/nameset originally sits:

2. One thing when using Dylon Stain Remover.. at the end of the tip of the bottle, there is a sponge and button that needs you to press the surface of the jersey so that the liquid comes out.. This is a good mechanism to avoid the solution from spilling out accidentally.. so remember, press the tip of the bottle to the jersey's surface so that the liquid comes out:

Once you understand how it works, press and damp the area where the patches/nameset sits with the solution from Dylon Stain Remover:

3. Once done, you need to flip back your jersey and put the Dylon Stain remover solution on the other surface of the patches/nameset (which is outside):

This is to ensure that the patches is 100% dampened and smeared with the liquid from both sides.
4. Leave the patches for 5-10 minutes.. so that the solution starts to play it's role (removing the glue)
