Does anyone have a solution for removing silicone caluking....like what is used in your race trailer? I am doing some modification work to the inside cabinets of my trailer and there are alot of remnants of silicone that stuck to one surface or the other that I need to remove before putting it back together. I would like to do so without scraping or damaging the aluminum panels....any ideas?

In my experience as a plumber you would usually have to scrape it but, I have a pinstripe removal tool thats like an eraser on a dowel for a drill that would probably wipe it out quick. Also good ole' WD40 does pretty good at loosesning up adhesion for cleanup after the bulk is removed.

the rubber wheel in a drill will do it no issues.
