A square and sharp cornered piece of hardwood will shear it off surprisingly effectively. Thank Eric Birch of Jaguar Yachts for that little gem.

You can get a tube of stuff from screw-fix which removes silicon, or you can scape it off with a razor blade and finish of with acetone.

Thaks, one thing I think I will not use is the silican sealent remover sold by Unbond, they let me know it will damage gel coat! At least I found they are very fast at providing information.

yep, rubbing over with a dirty rag will show up if yerv actually got all of it off with the razor blade or not before the acetone.
