I managed to cut the old out with a very sharp craft knife, this still

the old.


Is this going to be OK, I've started to worry that it may not adhere
properly to the old silicone??


The new silicone will crosslink into the freshly cut surface successfully,
giving a bond very nearly, if not as strong, as the cohesive strenght of
the silicone.
