Unibond 1584200 Silicone Sealant Remover, Effective Sealant Remover for Thorough Removal, High-Strength Silicone Remover for Ceramic Tiles, Baths and Toilets, 1 x 80 ml

Worked perfectly

I was removing old, horrible silicone sealant from around the lid of a top-loading boat fridge. It was a really yucky, horrible job, and the old sealant was hard, dried-up and with all sorts of embedded gunk and mess (previous owners' gunk and mess, to make it even worse, not ours). I was getting fed up with scraping at the old sealant despite having a good scraper tool that worked well, so I decided to give this product a try. It's true that it is 'thick gel', which means it does not run. But it also means it's a little hard to spread, although it's perfectly do-able, albeit a little messy. Better that than a runny product though, as it does not end up going everywhere. I left it on for a bit longer than it says on the instruction and it made it so much easier to get it off with a scraper tool. It also ended up cleaning the stains (rust stains?) around the lid, which was an unexpected bonus. It did not stink as much as I was expecting it to, either. Overall, it worked well. I needed a bit of patience to allow enough time for it to work, but I'm very happy with the result. I recommend that you make sure to wipe it off properly before applying the new sealant, or it may not stick as well as it should.

Il prodotto è P E R F E T T O, nel senso che fa quanto promesso: applicato su silicone trasparente indurito, e lasciato "a lavorare" per una notte, lo trasforma in una specie di pasta facilmente removibile con una spatola. Prima di qs prodotto ne avevo provati altri che, purtroppo, non funzionavano affatto. Ho rimesso a posto un lavandino sul quale l'idraulico aveva fatto un bel pasticcio col silicone. Ripulito e rifatto il lavoro, questa volta per bene. Lo consiglio vivamente

Revelation. Have removed silicon to reseal baths a number of times over the years. This is the first time I have ever used this product. Applied and left on overnight. You still need to make the effort to scrape the old silicon away but it is so much easier and left a much cleaner finish than I have ever achieved before just by scraping. If anything I would have preferred a larger tube to get comfortably all the way round a bath ensuring good coverage all the way. Will know this next time. Am wondering if the people that have had problems with this product either haven’t left it on long enough or haven’t applied enough.

Great for completely removing old sealant leaving a very clean surface before resealing worktop in Kitchen and sink in bathroom. Far easier and less hassle than mechanically removing! Unibond is more expensive than other brands, but the remover is better quality than the Wickes own brand that i have also tried.
