How to remove old caulk

3M Caulk Remover


A substance that, once applied to any caulk, softens it to the consistency of butter in about 4 hours. Comes in a squirt bottle, and is slightly thinner than common glue.

This stuff was great! I didn't know what to expect. But I was tired of trying to chip off the old caulk I had around my tub, so I tried it. After letting it sit for about 3 hours it just scraped right off! Thanks 3M!

it softens the caulk however it is paint remover it took the new enamel paint off the tub as well. Ruined our tub.

the dangerous lives of solvents

Good idea to read the bottle about those sorts of warnings. I damaged the finish on my guitar by using Plastic Wood instead of normal wood filler due to the acetone that the Plastic Wood uses... I bet this stuff is safe on the normal plastic tubs though.
