Also, any tips for removing the old (silicone) sealer? I have
a tub with silicone sealent that's turned a dirty grey and
is breaking up in one or two spots. The challenge of removing
the old silicone has deterred me from tackling this project
thus far. Also, I don't want my attempts to cover any remaining
bits of old caulk to result in a new strip that is 2 inches
wide ;-)


I use a single edge razor blade tool. Make sure the blade is sharp. does
not work quite as well once the blade gets even a little dull.


That's what I was afraid you'd say :-(
