This is so frustrating! The front glass of my tank has ugly smudges of silicone glue on it! Initially the shop I bought the tank from gooped on some silicone glue to stick the back wallpaper. I told them not to so he used old newspaper to wipe the wet silicone glue off. He left these stains in the process. What do I do with it now?


Anyone has any advice on removing silicone glue? I tried a blade but it didn't help very much.

There is a chemical available to remove old silicone. I'll do a quick check...

It is a glass tank…

I would get a razor blade and slowly scrap off the silicone

Yeah, if it's on the inside of the tank. Otherwise I would be tempted to take the easy way.

Don't be ridiculous! I'd use a flame thrower.
