I wasn't my fault that the instructions were not that clear but I have managed to install a shower cubicle incorrectly and sealed it all up with silicone sealant. What is the best way of taking the silicone sealant off, just by rubbing or can I use some type of liquid, meths etc . . . to aid my progress.
Many thanks,
neil
I've tried many, many different solvents, and the only thing that dissolves cured silicone is silicone eater (sold in the sheds and screwfix). A certain amount of mechanical remoal will still be required.
What was wrong with sealing it with silicone sealant?

I think he means that he put it together incorrectly and then sealed it.

To email, substitute .nospam with .gl
If its any consolation I did exactly the same last weekend. I've also had to order some replacement parts for the enclosure after I drilled it incorrectly. This is what you get for attempting work when you are tired and in a bad mood.
Best of luck anyway.

Hopfully it will all come apart in reverse order. I noticed after taking a couple of showers that there is a lip on the side glass panels that the doors, when closed, fit a bit better into. Couldn't beleive how thick I was being at the time. Still if you get everything right you never learn I guess.
thanks to all who replied. And for the sympathy.
Cheers
