removing silicone

[Capt_Cully]

Replaced the second cracked tank for the sump. I need to remove the silicone from around a couple of holes drills into the glass so I can REsilicone the new connectors in.

What's the best method besides a razor blade and 30 minutes of picking? Any reef safe household solvents?

Thanks

Why not a razor blade?

Wasn't sure if there was a solvent that'd make short work of it? Its in and around the drilled holes so its gonna be a PITA.

Try this.

Did it the old fashioned way. Razor blade. PITA, but......done!

Depot & Lowes sell a silicone remover in the paint department.

I have a couple shirts that have had silicone on them for a long time now, it says that stuff works on clothing. I think I might give it a try.

For the drilled holes are there bulkheads? If so you don't need Silicone.
