What is your method of Silicon removal?

[Rookery]

I use a stanley knife to get the bulk of it off then a razor scraper for the residue. Tried Silicon eater and found it slow, messy and slow.

Spray on grout sealant also softens and dissolves Silicon - and won't harm grout.

Just use a blade but be careful not to cut the tray...Silicon eater is a complete waste of time.[/QUOTE

Really?
I had to take off Silicon from every ensuite of an 82 bedroom new build nursing home a few years ago, the chap building it was a penny wise and pound foolish type of guy at times, got someone who claimed he was a dab hand at it, it looked BAD, any way the Silicon eater worked a treat, I gunned on 5 bathrooms and then went back scraping fell off,

The no nonsense Silicon remover works well if the bulk of the bead is removed. I've used it on a bath seal that needed cleaning up and it worked a treat.

The brand of Silicon does make a difference but the facts are that it can work and its an option.

When I went to book out some stuff at the local merchants I spied the ice scrapers on the counter,so I picked a one up to see how it goes............and boy did I get a quizzical look from the assistant and sarcastic ''do you know something about the weather that I don't!''

I do the same, carefully use window scraper plus I've also discovered a product called Silicon multisolve which also attacks the Silicon that's left and you can practically rub it off
