A few people said in the past that WD-40 is just as good as a silicon removal product like this.
So I've now rigged up these two test pieces both using a
piece of acrylic, both with tiles at the back. Normally what you do is cut away as
much of the silicon as you possibly could using a sharp knife, before you
would apply the silicone remover. But in this instance I'm just going to treat
that bead and the bead behind. One using the silicon remover and one using the WD-40.
Leave it 15 minutes and then we'll try and remove the silicon and see which one
works best. So the one on the back I'm just going to give that a spray with some
WD-40 and then on the one at the front I will apply the silicone remover.
So to start off with we're going to try the silicon remover.We're going to use this
special tool which is designed especially for removing silicon.
So you can see that that is scraping away now pretty easily
That has successfully removed the majority of the silicon from that bead.
So I have used that plenty of times in the past and it has always worked very
well. I'm now going to do exactly the same test on the piece that we sprayed
with the WD-40.
And I have to say that has actually worked just as well as the
silicone remover if not better.
Well I have to say that the WD-40 does work just as well as the silicone remover does.
