Default Getting vinly graphics off after applied?

So I got the vinyl for the tag in the front which had no instructions with it. I found some though and put them on. In doing so I noticed the other day two of the pieces are out of order. They are on there now! It isn't going to kill me if I can't swap them but would like too! How can I go about moving them around without damaging them and will they hold again?

THEY MAKE THIS STUFF CALLED ACTION-TAC APPLICATION FLUID. YOU SPRAY THIS STUFF ON FIRST THEN PUT YOUR STICKER ON AFTER. YOUR ABLE TO MOVE YOUR STICKER AROUND BEFORE IT DRY'S. CHECK OUT THE STICKERS WE PUT ON MY BOSS'S CAR AT http://wolfeblasting.com/html/SCOTTS...UILD%2011.html

I used soap for that and worked fine. My problem is I have two in their wrong spots after they are dry. I need to get them loosened up and in the correct place so they can dry again.

um... i dont think they will hold again after removing.

Mainly because getting them off without destroying them will be a very very hard task.

Every piece of vinyl ive removed has stretched, even when trying not to F the piece up.

Your best bet would be 20 bucks and a new set of stickers.

Thumbs up Stickers

Maybe You Could Use Heat Like From A Hair Dryer Maybe. It Might Free Up The Sticky Part Of The Sticker. If Not Then Yea New Stickers.

nah, even using a hair dryer wont work.

They will still strectch, or you'll end up nicking it or the paint under it if your usin a razor.

Stickers are a one way operations, once its set, it has to be replaced if removed.

I wish they were like static clings... but thats just not the case with glue.
