What is the process for removing vinyl from a t-shirt. I have a small slit in a letter that could be salvaged if I could pull off the letter.

I have used acetone from the back of the shirt it works well

Do you just rub it on or spray it on?

Get some of Gilligan's Methylene Chloride, or Acetone, or what I use, Spotting Fluid. I spray or dab.
Interestingly, depending on the particular material, some do well from the front, some from the back.
It's not unusual to get a bit of a ghost, but that is not an issue when replacing with the same letter or shape.
Otherwise, I find that rubbing briskly with a clean rag dampened with the solvent helps.

I use it from the back spray then Peel if there is adhesive let on the shirt just rub it with no lint towel or sponge rub rub works great

Ive shoot from the back side with my spot remover gun let it sit a minute and they usually will start to peel off, you will be left with some glue residue but it can be less noticiable if you heat press it again (once the spot remover is dry) . Usually by the time you iron the new name or number over top it is hard to see.
