Hello, experts:
Recently, I tried to fill in a slight gap between two parallel lengths of tile-on-a-roll wallpaper, in the bathroom. The filler that I wiped into the joint (with a filler knife) was decorator's caulk. After filling in the crack, it looked a bit better for being white, rather than the yellow of the lining paper underneath. I wiped off the surplus with a clean, damp rag, and thought that it would dry OK. However, the light now catches the very thin residue of this caulk, and it looks terrible! Can anyone advise me as to the safest way to remove the caulk from the surface of the tile-on-a-roll? Though washable, this wallpaper does not have a hard, glossy plastic surface. It is more of an eggshell sheen, and I guess that the wallpaper is quite soft and delicate, so I can't use an abrasive on the caulk residue, as it would certainly scuff the material. Is there any substance that would safely dissolve the caulk, and leave the wallpaper unspoiled?
With grateful thanks in anticipation,
A.W.
