OT- Any Bathtub Caulking Solvents???

I had a new tub (fiberglass) installed with a surround kit shower wall a few years ago. I also had brass and glass shower doors installed. I've never really liked the doors once they were installed for a variety of reasons, but I knew it would be a big mess to take them down. Recently, my son closed one of the doors a bit too hard and the glass shattered; fortunately nobody was hurt.

I took the remaining door and it's encasement off today and most of the caulking peeled off easily. The trail of caulk beneath the track that seated on the bathtub, though, is not quite as easy. It's pretty stubborn actually. I don't want to use any harsh chemical or abrasives that will damage the finish on the tub since it is an elegant fixture that set me back a few pennies and then some, but I certainly have NO DESIRE to buy another set of shower doors because they are a PITA. I thought about Goo Gone, but ??? I thought I'd ask to see if there were any experts on board here that could tell me straight up what might work.

I know, this is a pretty RANDOM topic, but a small dilemma to say the least.

Perhaps a plastic paint scraper or plastic "razor blade" would do the trick.

you could try this Ani

Are we comparing caulk sizes here again??

John,

Looks like a great product for starters. If that doesn't do the trick in itself, then I might have to try the "plastic" scraper that mildlysane was referring to, while being extremely careful not to scratch or mar the surface.

Thanks guys.... :thu:

Hardware stores carry black caulk now.
