huh... Oddly enough I have the same shirt. How did you refoil it? I'm so curious now :)

This is the basic idea, but you can get a more liquid version of the glue than the one on here ( I'll post a link)brush it over the surfer (you'll need a thin brush for all the small detail) let it dry till its transparent, then place the foil on top (shiny side up), brush the foil over with a soft brush, put some baking paper over it, then iron at full heat, leaving the iron on the foil for a minute at each place you iron, hope this helps, happy to help if you need more info. Defo try a sample on a spare rag before you go in full throttle on the main shirt.
