| 1438574 | 2017-08-27 06:00:00 | What is the benchtop surface? Vinyl, Seratone, Marble? Maybe a new, sharp window type scraper used very carefully. I don't know of any solvent for old silicone. Just tried google, try this www.selleys.co.nz |

| 1438575 | 2017-08-27 07:04:00 | when I was installing kitchens we used a solvent called Pegasol to remove silicone before it had cured, not sure if it will work on already cured silicone though. | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1438578 | 2017-08-27 10:31:00 | WD40 will do the job? I have a bottle of WD40 , will try it tomorrow. | bk T (215) | ||
| 1438579 | 2017-08-27 20:15:00 | I just used to cut it out. And a scraper. Not found a solvent I was happy with. | psycik (12851) | ||

What's your professional advice? :) |
