What are you trying to do. Where is the silicone sealing?

If it's a simple seat around an antenna mount or some thing similar , use a single blade razor to surface don't be aggesive , finish up with Acetone ( Don't add to COFFEE) like the New Bedford TEACHER after loosing his GF. then just reapply and clean around mounting .
the fishing freak or raider ronnie can help they know everything about refitting

In the past, I have normally remove it with razor/acetone but it is a little work and it is hard getting it all out....was wondering (more like hoping) there was a magic solvent that made complete removal easy.

I have some silicone sealant between a few deck/liner joints and in some places on the pilothouse. Also in a couple places I think it was installed in a sloppy manner and looks bad.

Looks like this could turn into a weekend project.

One can hope! When you are nibbling away at it you are thinking to yourself...there has got to be a more professional way to remove this that I just don't know about.
