Silicone Remover

1. Ensure surface is completely dry, as water contamination will render the product ineffective. For fast results firstly remove as much of the old silicone as possible.
2. Read the safety directions before using the product. To open squeeze the cap as indicated while unscrewing. Use a scraper to spread a 5 mm thick layer of silicone remover evenly over the old silicone.
3. For effective removal leave for at least 2 hours. For thick deposits leave for 24 hours. In some cases a second application may be needed.
4. Use a scraper to remove the softened silicone from the surface.

Limitations:

• *May discolour/affect nylon, polypropylene, ABS, polystyrene, lead, brass, mild steel, paint surfaces and bare timber.

• Items adhered with silicone must be separated before using Silicone Remover. Carefully cut the sealant with a sharp blade or try using a piece of strong thin wire wrapped around two dowels as handles. This can be used like a cheese cutter to slice through the silicone.
• Selleys Silicone Remover will only remove residues. Silicone must be carefully cut away to a depth of less than 1 mm prior to using the product.
• Wear protective gloves and glasses when using Selleys Silicone Remover.
• Some highly porous surfaces may retain silicone oil which will be difficult to paint over even after the silicone has been removed.

• If Silicone Remover is allowed to dry on the surface a white powdery residue will be left. This is harmless and is best cleaned with a wet rag.
• If you are applying new silicone refer to Selleys Silicone Sealants.
