Caulking removers - caution
Because I was recently changing out yellowed fixtures on the outside of my TT I had to remove a bit caulking. I tried two types of remover - Lift Off and 3M. I can't say I was overly impressed with either and I wanted to pass along a caution. The instructions say to apply and let it soak in.
After scrapping as much off as I could with a couple of sharp plastic putty knives, I put the Lift Off and let it soak for about 20 minutes as per the instructions. When I went to work on the remaining caulking with a rag on the remover, it also took off some of the paint. Luckily the new caulking will cover it.
I then tried the 3M remover but let it set for about five minutes. When I rubbed on it, it also took off the paint.
I really don't know if either of these helped to remove the caulking, but if you use them, watch out for the paint when rubbing on it. I have a Nash 2006 26X trailer with metal siding. I don't know what the caulking remover will do on a fiberglass.
