CT1 Multisolve spray

[opps]

Used it for the first time today. I had to re-silicone two bathrooms and a kitchen sink and hob. As usual, I used sharp chisels and a 9mm snap off blade to remove the bulk of the old silicone. I then sprayed the area with Multisolve. To be fair it was pretty effective at softening the thin skin left behind, which I ran the chisel over again. I did apply another couple of coats and wiped those with a dishcloth. I also used my fingernail on the old grout join (didn't want to blunt my chisels). I finished by wiping down with meths (twice). I had previously only used the Geocell (formerly Dow Corning) gell. This was definitely much cleaner and quicker to tidy up. I would recommend it, but with the caveat that I have only used it to remove silicone from tiles and kitchen worktops.

I always find petrol is as good as anything else for getting off residue.

You may well be correct, but as someone with milky tea coloured skin, if I try to get on to the tube with a jerry can of petrol, I doubt I will be able to swipe my Oystercard at the end of the journey.

What do you use to remove the WD40 though?

I have, over the years used CT1 for things like back to the wall toilets that are on painted walls- where I am the one that needs to paint the walls. I have however seen it yellow in rooms without sufficient sunlight. I hope BT1 is better in that respect.
