My new house has sealant on all skirting boards where they meet floorboards. I'm laying karndean tiles so am trying to remove the sealant but don't want to mess with solvents. Because the skirting is very smooth I find a naked stanley blade held with my fingers shaves the sealant off the skirting nicely but of course is fiddly and isn't kind to the fingers. Is there some kind of specialist blade or scraper that would do it? I'm picturing something that looks like a minature car windscreen ice scraper. Can't find anything in web searches but maybe I'm on the wrong track.
Scraper to remove sealant?

I have a Stanley-blade-holder-scraper. No idea where it came from but they do exist; I'll check if it has a brand name on it tonight.
Something like this

a bit big.
I also have a smaller plastic version that holds a single stanley blade
- you should be able to get one from local DIY shed - might be sold to scrape paint from around edge of window glass

This sort of thing?
Ha, thanks, you got my brain into gear. There are two items there which are exactly the sort of thing I need and I guess are something like you have. I'll check out B&Q tonight.
