A few years ago, I had a my wooden kitchen window replaced. I was left with a small gap between between the frame and the tiles, which the window frame company covered up with plastic trimmings. Recently, I had the kitchen tiles replaced. I have also ripped out the plastic trimming and tiled right up to the window frame. However, having ripped up the plastic frame, I am now left with what appears to be very elastic opaque plastic like substance. I don't know what it is but it's extremely tedious to remove and in fact I could only pick out a little bit at a time,
Are there any chemicals (preferably non-volatile, non-toxic) which I could use to dissolve/remove that kind of elastic glue (without damaging the wood/wood paint)?
