will this work to remove a silicone sealant on ceramic tile? I have been trying to remove the old sealer with razor blade etc

Yes, but it will also require some elbow grease. I made a mistake on allowing grout sealer to get onto my porcelain tile which left a greasy residue that wouldn't come off. I tested this product with a scrub pad and it removed the film. I had a large area to cover so I borrowed a buffing machine from a friend and finally got my floor back to normal after a lot of work. This product helps on removing silicone sealant, but would also recommend a buffing machine with scrubbing pad for large areas. Mix this product with water and spread onto floor and then use scrubbing machine. Hope this helps

I'm not sure about the "silicone" sealant, but whatever type of sealant I used on my ceramic tiles came up with just a little bit of rubbing with this remover. I tried to seal my new ceramic floor tiles, but made quite a mess of it because I didn't stay just on the grout like I was supposed to. I thought it would be no big deal to scrape up with a razor blade, but that just didn't work. This removed worked great and I had a big area to cover...a whole family room. I would suggest you give it a try and if it doesn't work for you, take it back to the store. I did that with a couple other removers I tried. Good luck.

In my opinion, this unit is too heavy to remove tile without damaging the underlayment. I would suggest the Bosch Bulldog as an alternate. It's lighter, easier to control. The Bosch HS1465 tile chisel and a 3/4" wide chisel should do fine removing tile.

I do not think it would work. This is to cover ding in porcelain on metal. It is not a sealer.

It took it off my toilets which are ceramic...I think that it would but you should try a part that isn't visible to the visitor eye!

Yes. It does remove grout, but be sure you use the mason/ceramic cutting blades. If you use the standard wood type blades they will wear out very fast and over heat in the process.

Truthfully, I can only guess. It is supposed to work on porcelain tile, etc., so I would think there would be a good chance of it working. I would suggest trying it on a scrap piece of granite first.

yes it will. After removal you will have to clean surface with an adhesive remover. Goo Gone will work as well if you do not have access to commercial grade products.

I used it underwater on the tile grout and sealed it without a problem. It was quite quick to adhere. It most likely would work.

Personally, I think you would be better off using some silicone cement or 'RTV'. This stuff is very aggressive and expands rapidly and can be difficult to remove if you get it on you or the rest of the tub. Something like this maybe: http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-80050-Silicone-Adhesive-Sealant/dp/B0002UEPVI/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1413906951&sr=1-1&keywords=silicone+cement

Clean-up should be similar to silicone caulk, razor and possibly a solvent. The cleaner you apply it the cleaner it will come off.

Yes this will work for you as long as you use a flat chisel bit to remove your tile. We use it all the time to break up well compacted ground when hand digging.

i always answer questions and only in a truthfull way after much time with the product.this Skill tool for me barely cuts cardboard boxes as some say it does . i tried but went back to my razor knife which took less effort then the Skill , and another reviewer said the same thing ! SO it will not cut ceramic tile in my opinion . you will have to research which tool is best because i am not a DIY person i am an artist . good luck with your searchbrother molayKT.KT.b

This will depend on the sealer. If it is a top coat sealer or enhancer it will not work.

It comes with a Dianond blade for cutting ceramic tile. I use the drop in method and try torning the tile over and cut on the back side. But Im thinking of no chip out on the front. Try the front too. See how that turns out. It is out in my tool house tonight. Ill look at it tomorrow and see what's printed anywhere I can see it. The rpm you want. I love it. Sure made short work of Hardi siding.

I would think you could use it. I use mine on our porcelain tile all the time. Good luck!
