    SILICONE-BE-GONE

    silicone Remover by DAP
    I was at LOWE'S today buying some paint for the back of an aquarium and other assorted goodies and I found this product.  New I think.
    "Softens old silicone for easy removal"
    "won't harm most surfaces or finishes"
    "Low Odor"
    "wear hand & eye protection"
    "Contains Aliphatic Hydrocarbon, Sulfuric Acid & Sulfonic Acid"
    Instructions
    1 - cut back unwanted silicone
    2 - apply silicone-be-gone
    3 - let stand 30 minutes
    4 - wipe off with a clean cloth
    5 - scrape any remaining residue
    6 - rince with soap & water
    7 - reapply new sealant

    Anyone tried this stuff ?  Comments ?

    Guess I'll try this on the 175 bowfront I need to reseal.......

    He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

      It might be that stuff I tried a while back.  White tube, and i think greenish lettering on it?  It was like a squeeze tube, not the tube like you put in a caulk gun.  I think I might even still have it somewhere (me <-- packrat).  

      If so, it was a waste of money.

        This stuff is a brown GEL, it comes in a white plastic bottle with green label and packaging.

          Sounds like a waste of money......

          We get lots of similar chemicals at work and they still all require elbow grease.
