Re: Stus-List Solvent for Silicone
Hi Randy, I've been using the MCKANICA Silicone Caulk Remover and have had very good results. It dissolves the silicone quite well and it's very easy to remove. It works in 10-15 minutes.

Re: Stus-List Solvent for Silicone
I use 3M 08984 General Purpose Adhesive Remover, a 5 in one knife and a scrubby pad. There is no silver bullet for silicone removal. It takes elbow grease. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/MMM0/08984/N0440.oap Dennis C.

Randy The only thing I ever found to remove silicone was good old gasoline.

Stus-List Solvent for Silicone
Listers- My exterior handrail replacement project is underway - began removing the handrails today. The bases of the exterior handrails were bedded to the cabintop gelcoat with what appears to be some kind of silicone-like substance. Can anybody recommend a good solvent for that stuff? I tried goo-gone and it wouldn't dissolve the stuff. Want to get that gelcoat clean before bedding the bases of the new handrails.
