Hi all, removing silicone from around the windows and a right pain.
cut it down to thin layer with stanly but still a 2mm layer all the way round anyone used silcone remover before bit worried about using on silcone which is on paint? or will it be ok to leave this thin layer and re silcone to the windows back in?
Thanks in advance for any help

 

I've only ever found the silicone remover to be a right pain.
Tried it twice now to remove old silicone in the shower, personally I've found it just end up making the job twice as long.

 

I use a Stanley blade, or a VERY flexible kitchen knife, honed to an edge, to remove all but scraps of silicone.

Then use silicone remover.

AFAIK, it doesn't harm paint.........but what sort of paint are we talking about? House? Car?

 

use blade to get as much off as you can , then the silicone remover (or Autoglym Tar remover in my case) will do its job better.

 

It on a car cut most of with stanley just got 1mm band silicone still on there and will try bit silcone remover and abit tar remover cheers guys

 

Who would silicone windows in place?

 

To be honest mate dont think it silicone as seems lot stronger and less rubbery

 

are you sure its not tigerseal or similar?

 

Yeah could well be mate any tips for removal

 

theres a product windscreen fitters use to remove it, but you have to scrape literally as much as possible of first. Just cant think what the stuffs called. panel wipes is good to remove it from hands might be worth a try.

 

Ok cheers mate silicone remover and tar remover sort of doing job still quite hard work though
