Cornertape Silicon Remover tool

[united]

I had some very old Silicon to remove around a bath and shower on Wednesday :mad2: the usual blade and plastic Silicon remover tool were taking ages to get rid of this stuff so I contacted Andy at cornertape to give me details of a local retailer selling his products, got a really quick response from Andy

I bought cornertapes Silicon remover tool - the tool is made from steel and comes with its own sharpening stone, the blades have been specially angled to prevent it digging into more delicate surfaces.

I must say I was really impressed with this tool as it made light work of the job. It's much better then the plastic versions I normally use and will last for ages. Good price too

Thanks to Andy at Cornertape for the good customer service too

[doug boardley]

is it like this one that David at Tradetiler gave me to test run?

 

[diamondtiling]

No mine is different to that Doug, the head is a lot larger and has extra cutters on it so it can be pulled and pushed to cut.
I will have to take a picture.

Simply paint Aqua Mix Sealing & Coating Remover over the Silicon making sure it is well coated down both sides. Go and have a cup of tea come back and pull or work a bit out and the rest will pull out cleanly like a ribbon

Can it be used on acrylic baths

Can it be used on acrylic baths

Good question. I'm not sure but I will check and let you know

Can it be used on acrylic baths

It sure can, the angle across the blades is less than 90 degrees so effectivly you're only using the tip of the tool, in other words you're only touching the Silicon and not the bath.

Give it a tickle every now and again with the sharpening stone (provided) and it will last for years and years and years and years, bugger I think we've screwed up their. Hopefully your mate might nick it out your tool box then you'll have to buy another one.:lol:

Cheers

Just bumping some of the tiling tool review threads in the main tiling tools forum. Ignore this if it's an old one and not important to you. It'll soon drop off the list.
