Dissolving Silicon


JC Pollman

Recommended Posts

I built a plywood tank years ago, and now want to remove it to build a new one. The front glass is siliconed in, and I was wondering if there is any easy way to take it off. Not only would I like to save the glass, but the tank would be much lighter without it, and hence, easier to remove. Note: this is inside, and fumes can be an issue.

They make silicone removers and they are available at most home improvement stores. I have also used acetone and denatured alcohol.

 

If you don't want fumes the a razor blade might be your best bet.
