Hi Randy,

I've been using the MCKANICA Silicone Caulk Remover and have had very good 
results.   It dissolves the silicone quite well and it's very easy to remove.  
It works in 10-15 minutes.

My exterior handrail replacement project is underway - began removing the 
handrails today.  The bases of the exterior handrails were bedded to the 
cabintop gelcoat with what appears to be some kind of silicone-like substance.  
Can anybody recommend a good solvent for that stuff?  I tried goo-gone and it 
wouldn't dissolve the stuff.  Want to get that gelcoat clean before bedding the 
bases of the new handrails.

Thanks in Advance,
Randy

I use 3M 08984 General Purpose Adhesive Remover, a 5 in one knife and a
scrubby pad.  There is no silver bullet for silicone removal.  It takes
elbow grease.

The only thing I ever found to remove silicone was good old gasoline.
