Remove caulking smear
what kind of caulking? latex? silicone? rubber?
for latex, try liquid fabric softer on a rag and a little patience. for rubber and silicone, you're pretty much gonna have to scrape it off. randy "not Steve Buscemi" me ATyahoo.ca wrote in message wsgroups.com...

there is still some left.
Any common paint remover containing methylene chloride will remove virtually any caulking. May take a while longer with silicone, so just be patient. Use blue masking tape to protect nearby paint. HTH Joe |
