[VAC] Re: Removing the dreaded silicone caulk



         I use "3-M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner" 3-M p/n 051135-08984 
- available at better auto parts store.
         I use a LOT of paper towels, a plastic scraper, and ultimately my 
fingernails for the last but.
         The trick is to saturate the silicone, then turn the paper towel 
often- but it finally gets it all off. It contains Naptha, Xylene and 
Ethylbenzene. I'm sure if I were to have kids at this point, they would 
probably have two heads ;)
