Removing thick mouldy silicone from bath

[Jupiter01]

Hi All,

Not the most inviting of subjects. Thanks for making it this far!
Are there any tricks to the above? Someone mentioned the use of WD40?

Thanks in advance

Razor blade /scalpel/ new blade from utility knife.
You need to cut it off then WD40 etc on remnants, boring job.

Cut as much as you can away. I find the best way is a Stanley blade, not fitted to a knife. You can get it flat and cut almost all the silicone away. If you are reapplying then that should be enough. If you want it completely clean then you can buy silicone remover. Brush it on, leave it half an hour and silicone turns to mush. The remover only does a thin layer so you need to cut scrape as much as possible first.

on a related note, with the fugi silicone profiling kit, do I need to spray soapy water?
