Silicone residue removal
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to remove silicone residue? I've tried rubbing alcohol, sos pads, goo gone silicone caulk remover and countless hours with many, many , many razor blades and just no luck.

Fresh razor blades to remove the bulk of it and magic eraser for the rest.

The angle of the razor blade makes a huge difference too.

Well no luck with the magic eraser or the acetone. I've resealed many aquariums before, but never had so much trouble getting the residue off as this one.

Well I guess I'll pick some of this up tomorrow if I have time. Hopefully it works. I'm tired of looking at this tank empty.

wd/40 should soften it up, wait 5 minutes and then you can just wipe it off with a rag

I wouldn't use WD40 - too much stuff in it
99% Isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) works well on the leftover film Drug store stuff |
