Gonna tackle replacing the sealant in my shower enclosure this week after putting it off for years, your video has been very helpful

@0617kitty 2 месяца назад

Very helpful video😊The no-nonsense sealant remover is $27 plus tax and shipping in US😮 1. Use a cutter to cut sealant with an angle 2. Use a sealant tool with plastic corner tool to remove sealant 3. Use little broom and dust pan to remove sealant 4. Use an old clean damp rag to clean up sealant. Keep surface dry 5. Put sealant remover on any left behind sealant(avoid chrome) 6. Wait for 30 minutes 7. Use plastic corner scrubbing and flat tool to remove sealant 8. Remove debris with damp rag 9. Soap a clean dry rag with white spirit 10. Wipe where the old sealant was 11. Wipe finger on where old sealant was. It should be nice and smooth if not, use white spirit soaked rag on again

Would you say the silicone remover is suitable for removing sealant on mdf skirting boards/vinyl flooring? I need to remove it in order to repair some damage to the skirting and I’m wondering if it will soak in and cause the filler/primer/paint not to adhere.

do you have to remove all old silicone sealant before applying new bead or can you leave a small residual amount?

Hi.. will applying white spirit allow the new silicone to bond with the bath and the tiles or will it prevent it from doing so. Please advise..

Should be fine as long as you wipe away the residue.

@bigpouse 2 года назад

Pouse. Your voice sounds strange. New microphone? Now I know where my sealant tools vanished to. You'll also see on the back of the sealant tool there is a blade for opening a sealant tube. And finally I'd recommend using a hoover as apposed to a dust pan and brush. Fab. Look forward to the reseal. What sealant you using?

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 года назад

Not everyone has a Henry hoover you show off! I didn't show the blade as I wasn't opening sealant in this video. As for the sealant, Dow 785+.... and yes, new wireless microphone. Have a great day!

I could only find unibond sealant remover and can confirm it’s absolutely rubbish, so I’ve ordered the no nonsense brand £9.99 off Amazon - but it’s the only place I can source it! Hoping it does the job (the builders/plumbers whoever did the sealant has used about 10mm worth of it around the whole bath tub 😢)

Have you tried WD40? I've heard that works.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 2 года назад

WD40 works but it's very hard to remove, and if any residue is left it can remove the new sealant so I don't use it. For the small cost of the sealant remover, I'd stick with that. Thanks for watching.

@edwardbalboa5528 2 года назад

Just use rubbing alcohol to remove wd40 .....not difficult....you can spray it on as well

@paulcousins6535 11 месяцев назад

@christiankennedy145 10 месяцев назад

Mate speak to someone who does this for a living. All you need it a knife and a stanley glass scraper. Silicone remover is a gimmic and is for people who have no idea and is basically a rip off. Use a thin chisel behind the taps. There is 1 right way to do it and it's not the way you have shown. Any Mastic Man or Sealant Applicator Specialist would remove that sealant in 10 minutes.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 10 месяцев назад

I'd rather someone didn't use a knife on my plastic bath. That's not to say it can't be done but in my experience, any trades person that could remove that in 10 minutes will damage the bath. No one will care about your house as much as you sadly and as speed was not the objective of this video then I still think it's a good way for a novice to complete the task properly without damage.
