OT: How to remove old silicone sealant from aluminium?
Removed Aluminium shower enclosure and door frame . Has gobs/strips of old Silicone sealant stubbornly stuck to the Aluminium sides.
Tried box cutter and old style razor blade but thin strips of silicone is still left attacked to the aluminium.
Tried just pulling with fingers but that only works on the thick gobs and still leaves some behind. Tried rough sponge and sandpaper, with the latter marring the paint. Tried thinner also.
So how can I remove all of the old Silicone sealant without damaging the paint?
