Question about removing overlays
Question about removing overlays Posted on: 08.07.2009 by Lynelle Mattheus Hi,Today is a happy day for me because I received both a DJ TT overlay and a VCI 100 in the mail! Here's my question. The product information says the overlays are removable. But will they leave any residue at all? I ask because I wonder if I should test and confirm the VCI 100 is working 100% before I apply the overlay. Normally it wouldnt be an issue but I'm traveling tomorrow and it would be a lot easier for me just to apply the overlay before I get on a flight. It's a B-stock VCI, which has a warranty, but if anything is wrong with it I believe it would be hard to return if there were any glue residue left on the enclosure. Any advice greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, and thanks to DJTT! | |

| Lynelle Mattheus 07.09.2009 | Thanks for all the feedback! Also, Zhubing, quit being so spammy. |
| 27.08.2009 | they dont really leave any res-due that cant be easily removed but they are a major pain to take off after a few months once the adhesive has set in nice and good. A hair dryer helps but it requires some serious muscle |
| Rtnis m 23.08.2009 | Not tried taking one off myself yet might have too soon, if i get the new one. Used to work on car's & the way we use to take stickers or go faster stripes off of the bodywork, using a hot air gun (Paint stiper gun) but be carefull gets very hot, so i would us a hair dryer on VCI, it softens the glue, then if thier's any residue use glue & tar remover should do the job |
| Xavier Emanuels 13.07.2009 | Residue is only left on if the overlay is on for a prolonged peroid of time - so if you discover an issue with your VCI-100 you can easily rip the overlay off without leaving any residue on the device |
| Lilliana Perris 09.07.2009 | Apparently you can just put the new overlay over the old one! If its been in place for quite a while, it will leave some residue when removed. |
| Vernon Positano 08.07.2009 | I can't answer you for certain, given I don't use overlays yet, but I would be very suprised if the glue that is strong enough to give it a good firm and durable hold, wouldn't leave at least some residue when the overlay is pealed off. |
