I removed my swim platform and I am changing to a smaller teak unit. There is a TON of old silicone left on the transom and I need to get it cleaned off..whats the best way to remove it without damaging the gelcoat?
Re: Best way to remove silicone from gelcoat without damaging it??
They sell silicone remover at any home improvement store. It it like 3 dollars and looks like a tube of elmers glue. I use it on my shower every few years when I recaulk. They also have very effective plastic silicone scrapers. Of course the fiberglass is a little different between a tub and boat so you'd have to test it on a spot first. I'd try that first since it is so effective and cheap. I wouldn't hesitate to try it on my Chaparral if I had a reason.
