I re-seal a lot of baths, popular job. Key to doing it properly is getting
all the old silicone out & starting on a clean surface.

Bath I did today had a rigid plastic trim around it which had to come off
prior to re-seal. Under this in areas which could trap water, the
silicone seemed to have degraded badly.

Consistency of cottage cheese! Never seen anything like it before. Does
silicone degrade if kept permanently wet?

Dave, how do you remove the old silicone? In the past i just used elbow
grease and a sharp blade. Do those silicone removers work, if so could you
recommend a brand. I need to re-do my bath as its about six years old and
very tired.

Thanks,

Tom
