    Default Need to renove silicone from tent floor

    I applied some 100% silicone to the Floor of my Tarp Tent (sil-lon) It was from a tube I had here at the house.
    It must have been older than I thought, because after giving it overnight to dry, It is not even hardly tacky.
    So now I need to clean it off and Reapply new silicone. What would you use to remove it?

    Some days, it's not worth chewing through the restraints.

    The same stuff you use to thin the silicone for application - Denatured alcohol

    Worked like a charm. Now I'm going to give it overnight, then put my stripes back on, so I'm not sleeping on a Slip & Slide.
    Thank you Deadeye

    You bet! I made my stripes with thinned silicone, the same stuff I was using to seal the seams. Gave enough traction without causing a mess.
