![]() I just had to do this a few days ago, all I used were many many razor blades, and a wire brush. I've also used a wire brush attachment on a drill before and that works great. Make sure it's perfectly clean to the glass before siliconing though so that it adheres properly.

![]() Thats about what I have been doing, with those breakaway, olfa knives, just taking a break right now. Its the edges that I am worried about. Was going to try some sandpaper. Because of the black plastic frame, the glass has sharp edges. Not easy to clean with a knife because the edge is actually concave. But I like the steel brush idea, will try that too.
Tomorrow I will see what is left and see if I can find that remover from rona. I was at rona yesterday looking for that GE 1200 but they didn't have it. Thanks for the info, looks like elbow grease tonight. |

![]() Best bet is to just use razor blades and brass wire brush. Chemicals can make a mess of silicone, it gets all gummy and not fun. Use acetone to clean the joint thoroughly before silicone. Hit up some glass shops or lfs to find ge cs1200
