Silicone Removal

I tried the search engine, but failed miserably. I recall reading about various methods for removing silicone caulk and tried some.:headb:

I don't recall which method I used, but it worked like a dream.

Anyone remember the thread on removing silicone??

2nd the request

That would be darned helpful!! I need to remove some as well.

3M Silicone Caulk Remover

Just buy some 3M Silicone Caulk Remover. I've never used any, but my impression is that it swells and softens the caulk, which causes it to lose its adhesion, making it easy to remove.

Thanks

I guess that almost requires a 'duh' why didn't I think of silicone remover?
I'll search West Marine.

Double Duh

Silicon removal

Digesil from RPM Technologies.

Used this stuff to remove silocone from my aluminum portlights and the glass. Made a mess but the silicon sludge came off with their specially formulated wipes. This stuff is industrial strength so be careful. Also worked great removing excess Silicon I had applied to seal my Lexan MR10 portlights as I wasn't the best/neatest with the caulking gun. I just brushed this stuff on to the cured silicon and let er eat for a few hours. Kept it wet with the Digesil as instructed.

Thank you

Thanks for the info, but I already ordered the following (hope it works!)
