Any ideas how to get silicone sealant from fibreglass wheel arches. This is the smooth side.

Thanks

use a 'toffee wheel' - only a few quid off ebay and works lovely..

Yeah, its really got to be mechanical. Its a bugger for sure. One reason of many i prefer polyurethane.

You can get a product called "silcone eater", it comes in a half size sealant gun tube.
It's designed for use in bathrooms so it is safe on fibreglass. It'll also eliminate any risk of marking the finish, like using a Stanley blade.

I think B&Q sell it.

If you have excess bonding agent on a windscreen, could a toffee wheel be used to remove the excess?

bring to the heat...add beef, 3tsp fish sauce, 1tsp light brown sugar, 1tsp of ginger and fry until cooked; then add 2 chopped spring onions, and 2 chopped red chillies and fry for another 3 minutes....

White spirit will dissolve silicone sealant but not sure if it will damage gel-coat ???

Use it all the time at work.
