Had the garage door changed a while ago (an electric multi section insulated wonder, if I say so myself) and the frame sit on the inner brick face of the door space.
Now the frame of the old one was mounted inside the apeture and was sealed with the ususal white silicon mastic. Been trying to get it off for ages.
Cut the excess off with a Stanley knife blade & scraped but it leaves a really hard to shift white rubbery residue on the brick. What softens this stuff?
Tried burning a bit off and it left a nasty mess that I had to wire brush for ages to get off
