Default Screwed up silicone job. Need DIY help

Need help from DIY experts. I built a small rimless tank yesterday and I made an absolute mess of the inside seam because i think the room was too hot and the stuff tacked up too quickly. So my plan is to strip out the inside seam, re-tape and re-apply. I mad a smoothing jiig out of a piece of wood so this time I should get an even seam.

So is this a good idea? Are there any negative consequences of doing this? I was just thinking that the silicone between the glass is attatched to he silicone inside the tank and that by removing it and applying new silicone may weaken the tank. The tank is quite small, 26X11X11 so the preasure is not much. The guy at the glass shop did an absolute beautiful job on polishing the glass and cutting the pieces, I don't want it to go to waste.
