Does anyone have any good ideas for scraping off silicone sealant? Someone's glued a door membrane on with it, and I want to get it off. Some sort of scraper with a razor edge would be handy.

It always leaves a residue... Get yourself a pot of the propper Silicone Remover Polycell do one for £5 you get the chemical and a few brushes and spreaders...

How good is it at getting the silicone off? I'm painting the door, and silicone causes lots of problems with car paint. If using a remover means I get a faint residue of silicone all over the shop, I'm in more trouble than when I started.
It's good, but I'd scrape off what you can first - the best thing I've found is the long blades you get for snap-off knives (just the blade, but be careful not to slice a finger off)

I used Silicone Eater to "try" and remove the silicone from around my bath. Worse than useless!! I've just noticed on screwfix that it isn't classed as a hazardous product so maybe its not as strong as the others.
We always use a heatgun to get RTV sealant off various items at work. On something like a car door I would try heating it while you work at it with a bit of soft wood. Finish off the last few bits with ideally isopropyl alcohol (Safewash) or probably meths will do the job.
