I am trying to remove some RTV silicone sealant. I have carved and
scraped off most of it and am wondering what others have tried to
remove the residue left after mechanical removal. Paint stripper
doesn't work and I am trying some MEK now. Any thoughts?

Gasoline, lacquer thinner, MEK, TCE will lift it off, but it will
probably still need some mechanical removal.
