Does anyone have any good ideas for scraping off silicone sealant? Someone's
glued a door membrane on with it, and I want to get it off. Some sort of
scraper with a razor edge would be handy.

How good is it at getting the silicone off? I'm painting the door, and
silicone causes lots of problems with car paint. If using a remover means I
get a faint residue of silicone all over the shop, I'm in more trouble than
when I started.

It's good, but I'd scrape off what you can first - the best thing I've
found is the long blades you get for snap-off knives (just the blade,
but be careful not to slice a finger off)

I used Silicone Eater to "try" and remove the silicone from around my bath.
Worse than useless!!
I've just noticed on screwfix that it isn't classed as a hazardous product
so maybe its not as strong as the others.

We always use a heatgun to get RTV sealant off various items at work. On
something like a car door I would try heating it while you work at it with a
bit of soft wood. Finish off the last few bits with ideally isopropyl
alcohol (Safewash) or probably meths will do the job.
