Need to reseal your wood stove door, repair firebricks or seal stove pipes? The Indigo™ 22577 dental scraper can clean out old RTV silicone sealant & caulk without damaging cast iron or steel surfaces meant to withstand high temperatures.

Failed or deteriorating silicone sealant and caulk must be completely removed for new sealant to adhere properly. Utility knives and razor blades can scratch aluminum, porcelain, acrylic, and tile surfaces. The Indigo™ 22577's broad curved scraper blade provides a safer, more effective removal of baked on gaskets. The wide scraping edge lifts and rolls old silicone away while its smooth blade won't scratch most surfaces when used carefully.

Indigo™ dental tools are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" made from rusted cars. We've been selling dental tools on-line since 1998. Ours stay sharp longer & are autoclavable: see Documentation below that confirms chromium & manganese content.

How to Remove Silicone Sealants

  • Cut through thick sealant beads to make mechanical removal easier.
  • Apply silicone remover or mineral spirits for stubborn or aged sealant
  • Push the scraper at a low angle to work under the sealant bead
  • Work methodically to remove all old material; remaining sealant compromises new sealant adhesion.
  • Sealant in grout lines or narrow joints should be removed without digging into surrounding surfaces.
  • After mechanical removal, clean joints thoroughly with appropriate solvents and allow complete drying before applying new sealant.

What Do Our Customers Say?

  • Kelli Cote: Great quality products at a very reasonable price! Purchased some dental picks for my daughter's University paleontology club to help with their fossil preparation lab.
  • Sandra Mead: I bought several stainless steel picks, scrapers and spatulas for art and mechanical work. They're great! They are strong,sharp and hold their shape; not like the ones you get on Amazon or at home depot. Finally a good product at a good price. I'm telling all my friends about this site. Thanks Indigo.
