The heat gun will work. If you have one.


There is a product called Caulk Off (?). Made by the company that
makes Goo B Gone (?) A gel that you apply and let sit awhile.


I have used it with good results. *The caulk you mention is
water-based.


Found:

DAP® CAULK-BE-GONE® Caulk Remover

Specially formulated gel softens many types of caulks and sealants for
easy removal. Fast-acting formula, works in as little as two hours.
Fresh scent. Will not harm most surfaces. Interior/exterior use.

*The brand I used was different, but got the job done.


Hmm...looks good, though I'm now a little leary to use a solvent
because the tub is probably either plastic or fiberglass. I might end
up having to use just a knife, or knife + heat gun, which sucks. Oh
well.

Thanks for the informative replies.

Cheers,
