removing silicone sealant

[Ray Singh]

After 10 years of living in my new home, i finally got round to getting the toilets and bathroom floors fitted out in vynil.
Who in their right mind puts carpet in a bathroom - its doesnt make sense.

Anyway - i digress,

I need to remove some silicone sealant from around the shower tray. I have tried scraping with stanley knife and paint scrapper - but its still there.
How can i remove this bearing in mind i need to re-silicone around again with a different colour....

I've always found a sharp blade works but you say you've tried that. Urm burn it off.

dyi stores do a £1.99 plastic scraper thing just for the job that gets into the corners.
