Thanks
Thanks for the support David!
I feel more confident having watched this extremely clear demonstration of how to remove old sealant. Thank you so much.
You are very welcome
Brilliant. I am not a regular DIYer. This and the Pouse on the House video on applying sealant helped me do a job I am really proud of.
Great to hear, good work and thanks for watching 👍
Gonna tackle replacing the sealant in my shower enclosure this week after putting it off for years, your video has been very helpful
Fabulous video. Really well explained and you've probably just saved me hours of messing about, doing the job incorrectly. Many thanks
You're welcome!
Very helpful - did this today with success, so thank you!
No problem, glad to help !
I’m giving you a 10 out of 10 for the instructions, and another 10 for having normal men’s arms.
Good man: using a pair of old pants for wiping down.....just gave you a 'like' for that alone! Seriously, great video....I really like your calm presenting style (and that you don't use irritating music, like a lot do). Love the Welsh accent, too!
Thanks for the feedback 👍
Always great tutorial videos.
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.
Great video- simple intructions . Thank you
You're welcome!
Any suggestions for a decent sealant? Thanks for the video, straight forward, clear, to the point! 👌🏼
Really excellent video with concise, intelligent, insightful content that is really well presented with great demonstrative action. Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, well explained. Thanks a bunch!
Glad it was helpful!
Another use for old pants, brilliant! I was brought up in a household where they were only good as dusters 😂 great video thank you
Always reuse before you recycle! Thanks for watching.
Haha, my mother used to use her old knickers as dusters.
great video. i am planning to do this coming weekend. thank you so much
Have fun!
Good video. Very helpful thank you 👍
No problem 👍
Excellent Video. Thank you.😀
You are welcome!
Superb video
Thanks for not being American. Your sealant game is on point! Regards from Chester, England.
Are the Americans world leaders on sealant removal? I'm just helping with the diversity quota! 😂 Glad to help, thanks for watching 👍
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 😂 No, there are just too many of them! 😉
No if this would be an american, he would advise to buy weird chemicals we dont even have in Europe and then to mix the chemicals together and sht like that. You know the DIY videos of americans😂
@lifeonaleak9389 If all else failed they would recommend shooting it off with a 10 gauge shotgun 😂
Thanks mate, gonna put your techique and guidance into practice very soon!
Best of luck!
Looking forward to the next video of you sealing it back up Pouse!
Not sure it'll be my next video but it'll be soon! Thanks for watching.
Nice job. Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
Perfect video.... I was going to pay someone to do this!!!
Glad I could help
No nonsense now fiver! 😄 cheers for the vid, got me through my diy
Glad to help 👍
Thanks!
Beau travail 👍👏👏
Very helpful video😊The no-nonsense sealant remover is $27 plus tax and shipping in US😮
1. Use a cutter to cut sealant with an angle
2. Use a sealant tool with plastic corner tool to remove sealant
3. Use little broom and dust pan to remove sealant
4. Use an old clean damp rag to clean up sealant. Keep surface dry
5. Put sealant remover on any left behind sealant(avoid chrome)
6. Wait for 30 minutes
7. Use plastic corner scrubbing and flat tool to remove sealant
8. Remove debris with damp rag
9. Soap a clean dry rag with white spirit
10. Wipe where the old sealant was
11. Wipe finger on where old sealant was. It should be nice and smooth if not, use white spirit soaked rag on again
Would you say the silicone remover is suitable for removing sealant on mdf skirting boards/vinyl flooring? I need to remove it in order to repair some damage to the skirting and I’m wondering if it will soak in and cause the filler/primer/paint not to adhere.
really useful. thanks
No problem 👍
Lovely job 💪🏽😎👍🏽
👍
Thank you :)
Very Good mate thank you
No problem 👍
do you have to remove all old silicone sealant before applying new bead or can you leave a small residual amount?
Nice pants, Pouse 👍🏻
Great video and some good tips. Do you think Pouse pants are the secret of cleaning mastic?
Without a doubt! Thanks for watching.
The worst part of having to re-silicon is the prep work. Very laborious and time consuming but worth it in the end for a decent finish.
Very true. Thanks for watching!
Nice
Thanks!
I guess it depends on the bath. For me this job was a total PITA, many hours of getting lots of little stubborn bits of sealant out, especially difficult behind the taps.
Hello, could you please let me know where to get that sealant remover you showed in your video? I
looked at some stores and Amazon, but could not find it. Thanks!
If youre in UK its in screwfix
Screwfix but other brands should work as well. Best of luck with it 👍
Hi.. will applying white spirit allow the new silicone to bond with the bath and the tiles or will it prevent it from doing so. Please advise..
Should be fine as long as you wipe away the residue.
If the product burns your skin it maybe caustic ie: like paint stripper. Worked a treat though.
Glad it worked out for you, thanks for watching 👍
Not bad 👍
Thanks!
How long does it take you to do such a job?
About 2 to 3 hours including leaving the silicone remover to do its job.
👍👍👍
Please use gloves when using non sense silicone remover. It attacked my skins and it took months of care to recover.
Good advice, thanks for the feedback 👍
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE I'm glad you read my comment. I spent te and money with dermatologists and expensive creams and my skin is not as good as it was before.
What a beautiful job! I need to do that around my bathtub... Now I just need somebody's pants
I have plenty of spare pants but the cost of postage it'd be cheaper to buy a new pair! Best of luck with it.
Pouse. Your voice sounds strange. New microphone? Now I know where my sealant tools vanished to. You'll also see on the back of the sealant tool there is a blade for opening a sealant tube. And finally I'd recommend using a hoover as apposed to a dust pan and brush. Fab. Look forward to the reseal. What sealant you using?
Not everyone has a Henry hoover you show off! I didn't show the blade as I wasn't opening sealant in this video. As for the sealant, Dow 785+.... and yes, new wireless microphone. Have a great day!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE fab. My Henry broke years ago.
Hey pousey 😎
Hey!
Ohh.......Neil! 😂
Wrong t-shirt!!
I could only find unibond sealant remover and can confirm it’s absolutely rubbish, so I’ve ordered the no nonsense brand £9.99 off Amazon - but it’s the only place I can source it! Hoping it does the job (the builders/plumbers whoever did the sealant has used about 10mm worth of it around the whole bath tub 😢)
Hope it worked out for you. They sell it in screwfix if you have one nearby. Best of luck 👍
how do I remove silcone sealant from drywall
It's very difficult without damaging the drywall assuming it's stuck directly to it?
c = 5 * (a - b) should work 🙂
What country are you in?
Wales, UK.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE I'm London, but I've done my Gas theory exam in Cardiff
Always plug the drain first. Always.
Good point! Thanks for watching.
Fantastic video
Thank you John 👍
This is very unrelated but maybe you should add the hashtag #asmr as the video has a lot of sounds, and it would get a lot of views.
Strange how some vids show how to do this in 2 mins without using propitiatory products. I was gratified to be instructed how to dip a paint brush into liquid. EXTREMELY VERBOSE.
If you watched those videos, why did you feel the need to watch this one? Hopefully you found what you were looking for. Thanks for watching.
I am always ready to learn and one never knows what gems are hiding on UT. Don't you agree. ? @@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE
Do we really need a million things for such a small task
Have you tried WD40? I've heard that works.
WD40 works but it's very hard to remove, and if any residue is left it can remove the new sealant so I don't use it. For the small cost of the sealant remover, I'd stick with that. Thanks for watching.
Just use rubbing alcohol to remove wd40 .....not difficult....you can spray it on as well
I've heard wd40 works well as a sealant remover too!
It does but it's hard to completely wash off, and then stops your sealant binding to the bath later on. Thanks for watching 👍
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE thanks for the tip
The sealant remover is now £9.19 on Amazon :(
Try screwfix. It's usually a bit cheaper there.
No nonsense 100ml is £16.99 in the UK 🤦🏻♀️
I taught it was gonna show you resealing it 🤦♂️
That was the first thing I said, 'I will show you that in another video'. You skipped didn't you?! 🤣
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE yep I did because I was looking forward to the sealant bit 🙈
@@joshlehan8057 hopefully that vid will be in a few weeks.
Mate speak to someone who does this for a living. All you need it a knife and a stanley glass scraper. Silicone remover is a gimmic and is for people who have no idea and is basically a rip off. Use a thin chisel behind the taps. There is 1 right way to do it and it's not the way you have shown. Any Mastic Man or Sealant Applicator Specialist would remove that sealant in 10 minutes.
I'd rather someone didn't use a knife on my plastic bath. That's not to say it can't be done but in my experience, any trades person that could remove that in 10 minutes will damage the bath. No one will care about your house as much as you sadly and as speed was not the objective of this video then I still think it's a good way for a novice to complete the task properly without damage. Thanks for watching 👍
What a godawful job! Life's just too short.
You have a point! Thanks for watching.
IVE GOT THOSE PENGUIN BOXERS!
