Saw someone post the other day ref: wallpaper removing. Spending cold evening workin' in the rest-of-the-room. Joint cmpd. taking down border; following will be paint. Wondering if there is a product that will assist in removal of the caulk at the seam of the shower stall-tub joint. Using that Red Devil tool - which breaks - well, you get the picture. Thanks in advance. Gonna remove and raise that vanity also; enough of that stooping over.
 
Really sharp 5 in one tool get the wooden handled Werner
brand made in usa there really sharp start at the end u can use
the point to cut booth ways and or a razor. That's not an easy
job requires lots of elbow grease. As far as a remover if it is
silicone not much will cut that maybe xylene be careful if it is
plastic.
 
I remodel bathrooms so caulk removal from around the rim of the tub is something I've done a Lot of.
Get a very sharp 3/4 or 1" wood chisel. Lay it flat on the tub and Carefully work your way around it at right angles to the seam. It will cut the caulk off the enamel.
The sharper the chisel the better.
You will leave a few black marks on the enamel but use Zud or Bar Keepers Friend scouring powder and a green 3M scrubber pad and you can easily remove them and any residual caulk.
Careful with the pad as you can easily over do it and mar the finish on the enamel.
The same technique works for plastic tubs but you have to be supremely careful with the chisel and don't use the scrubber pad. Use a soft cloth with the scouring powder. (I hate plastic tubs and surrounds anyway)
I don't mess with sharpening chisels. I just buy new Woods Bros set of 3 for $14 at Home Despot and bill them to the job. Afterwards I give them to the homeowner.
