po armed with a caulk gun - help
We've been reading, and have been inspired by sequoiacoast's 68 tradewind bathroom job with the tile-doc product. I've spent the last day and a half removing fixures and hardware, carefully bagging everything so that virtually all parts of bathroom can be sprayed (such as removing faucets, toilet, drain strainers and all wall accessories, lights etc). I've patiently been using caulk remover products and have removed what would look like 3 caulking tubes of silicone from the seams of the lower fixtures, however there is some type of very yellowed caulking that is harder than the plastic. I was able to chip some off with a razor blade, however I fear I'll crack the plastic with this method. I could sand it off but would destroy the slight texture to the plastic. I've read the exterior threads on silicone removal, but was concerned the paint strippers might melt the interior plastic. Does anyone have any suggestions for removing this stuff? Hoping another long day of elbow grease will get the bathroom ready for spray this weekend.
