I used some silicone glue, it did the trick, and now I want to remove it, completely. Suggestions? It's been on the piece for about a month.

Razor blade works if you can get it behind the glue. I think some chemical dissolves it but can't remember what it is....acetone? mineral spirits? My husband is gone and not answering his phone!

You want to get as much as possible off with the razor blade, and your thumb, then clean up the residue with acetone.

can't wait. thanks.

The only way I found to successfully remove silicone from glass is to put the glass in the kiln and take it to 800.

There is a commercial Silicone solvent. Nasty stuff.

mek works. also nasty. rosanna

I have successfully used razor blades and thumb nails but find that I often want to make it pretty by using 0000 steel wool with some whiting. The whiting helps stop the silicone from re-sticking and the steel wool, as much as I don't like using it, is fairly gentle as it removes more & more silicone, with little more whiting and some elbow grease. - Tod

Paint thinner works on E6000. Might try it on silicone.

Many years ago when I first started stained glass, I glued a panel into the grooved out area of a wooden door, per instructions of teacher. Well, or course a piece broke and the panel had to be removed. I wrote to e-6000 and asked how. They sent me a list in order from weak to strong. I think I finally ended up using turpentine which was the strongest on the list. It took a while but finally gave. Sorry for the shaggy dog story. Georgia
