scritton Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to remove the badges from the grill cloth without damaging either the badge or the grill cloth. Thank you for any guidance.

Budman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 welcome to the forum. seems to me i used a razor blade and inserted it between the badge and cloth and moved it very slowly to cut the glue and not the cloth don't bend the badge it will look like hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdog Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 or a hair dryer/heat gun from the back side. NO DO NOT DO THIS. The grill cloth is very sensitive to heat and will shrink or melt. Trust me I have actually used a heat gun to shrink Klipsch cloth to make it tight in a frame. In my experience the badges come right of with little effort and no extreme measures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Smith Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Ha, thanks for chiming in! I had no clue that heat would be problematic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scritton Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately, I read the suggestion about using heat prior to the warning not to and did in fact burn a hole in the grill cloth. The method did help the glue soften and cut easier. Not a big deal as I've wanted to try my hand at redoing grill fabric and this gives me the opportunity. For those who care, I am removing the badges from a pair of KG 2 and reusing them on some KG 1.2s so they match my KG 4. I plan to post pics of my system at some point. Thanks again for the replys.
