How to Remove Silicone Glue from a Shower Wall
what you'll need
- Expendable cloth
- Putty knife
- Paintbrush
- Commercial adhesive remover
If you've been looking for a way to remove silicone glue from your shower wall, your best bet is a commercial adhesive remover, preferably one specifically designed for silicone removal. After using the following steps, your shower wall will be completely glue-free.
Step 1 - Apply Your Adhesive Remover
The first step in making your shower all glue-free is to apply your adhesive remover to any silicone glue-affected areas. Certain adhesive removers will need to be sprayed on, whereas others may require a manual application with a paintbrush. Once your sealer has been properly applied, allow it to set in for the amount of time recommended on the product's packaging to ensure that the glue is sufficiently loosened and lifted.
Step 2 - Scrape the Loosened Silicone Glue
Now that your adhesive remover has been allowed to sit for the recommended amount of time, you're ready to begin removing the silicone glue from your shower wall. With the aid of a putty knife, preferably a plastic one if your shower wall is composed of delicate material. Carefully proceed to scrape off the loosened bits of glue. Once your shower wall has been completely purged of silicone glue, use water to rinse off any remaining traces of your adhesive remover.
