STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
1: How to remove the old sealant
To remove most of the old sealant bead, use a Perfect Seal Multi Tool or a cutter.
If using a Multi Tool, use the metal arrow backwards or forwards to tear off the bead.
(If using a cutter, make sure your hands are protected. Cut the bottom and top lines of the sealant along the whole length. Then, pull off the bead.)
Use the Multi Tool to remove the old sealant from the shower.
2: How to clean the residue
Use a chemical silicone remover to make it easier to remove the residue.
3: How to clean the surfaces
Clean the area with white spirits or a non-aggressive detergent to remove the residue and any loose material, as well as the sealant remover. It is critical to get rid of the residue because it is essential to apply a new sealant onto a clean substrate surface.
