Default Silicone removal

I have a 30G tank I had Wendell make some cool overflows and defused returns for, but now my plans have changed. I'm now going to use it for a Frag tank. So I cut out Wendell's amazing return difuser but now I need to get ride of all the silicone. Anyone know of a way to remove even the film of silicone from Glass???

Thanks
Jason

Default razor blade

jason
get a stack of razor blades that have a handle on one edge from HD in the painting aisle. close by in that area should be a handle device that you can slide the razor blade into. The newer the blade, the better it removes the silicone. use a "used" blade for the rough removal, but newer blade for the thin film on the glass.
