How do you remove silicone sealant from clothes?
I have a smudge of it on some trousers and Mrs Smart51 is not best pleased.

Petrol is supposed to soften silicone dont know if it would remove from clothes though. If it doesn't remove the stain just strike a match and
burn the evidence.

Yeah sadly i would say they have had it for ever being smart again. Silicon is an arse to remove from really anything at all.
- There are silicon removal/softening products but they only half work at best.

You will not get it of, so add some more, and say you are making it a fashion statement!!! Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Silicon 'digesters' are rubbish. Put the money towards new clothes!

Stitch drill around it to remove it and then rivet on a new piece. A bit of filler to feather out the edges and they'll be as good as new.

The last time it happened to me, it cost me my house, £65,000, 2 cars and some visitation rights
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I disagree. I used it very successfully when glazing my Land Rover.
It is worth trying. Put a small blob on hte hem inside the trouser leg to see if it reacts badly with the material. If all is well after about 10
minutes, repeat on the blob and scrub it off with a tooth brush.
Warm soap water and m ore brush scrubbing will have them as good as new ................................... maybe.
