Re-caulking bathtub surround and its a bitch.  I'm using a paint scraper razor thing and a flat head screwdriver.  The hardest part is that its in between a crevace between the surround and the tile behind it and its hard to pull out.  I ordered a scraper attachment for my dremel multimax oscillating tool but that won't be here til tomorrow at earliest.  I'm experimenting with the other attachments.

You're sure it's caulking? I've seen some dingbats use grout.

Oscillating tool. The devils dildo or bone saw whatever you call it. You’ll be done in 15 mins. Put the scraper attachment on it and your done.

Caulking and silicone are two very different animals.

I generally use one of these

3n1 Caulk Tool

and I use a Stainless Steel Glazers Bar, Utility Knife or Razor Blades for the finishing touches.

I got it out of the joint now its just a matter of cleaning it up.  I'm going to experiment with a dremel and a felt polishing wheel to get it off of the tub.

I'm a Pro and this is what I use when I have to recaulk anything.
A utility knife comes in handy too.

I've stripped & caulked hundreds of tubs in hotels. We used a metal handi knife followed by a single edged razor blade for the smoothing-out part.
