Chickee,I think it was Toomuch not sure either but I ran right out to buy them for my bowl also..didn't work for me.I grouted my bowl with sanded grout and that took off some then I sat for hrs. with craft sticks and fingernails and scraped off all the glue.I switched to a glass glue from stained glass shop like weldbond ,I did not like the GE glue it was too messy for me.Anyway my bowl weighs 10 or 11 lbs also but I really like it,hope it goes to someone who can find a place for it.Good luck Annie

I can report that the magic eraser isn't working for me today. Or the non-acetone fingernail polish remover. Or the glass top range cleaner.

I went to the GE II website and found this:

For ceramic tile, marble, Formica>Ã>, fiberglass, etc., use 100% mineral spirits (turpentine) and a non-abrasive scouring pad. Test solvent on a hidden area of the surface to ensure that discoloration will not occur. If discoloration does occur, contact the manufacturer of the surface for further assistance.
For glass surfaces, use a razor blade to remove as much as possible, then apply mineral spirits. Remove excess as much as possible, then apply mineral spirits. Remove excess with a towel or other suitable cleaning utensil that will not mar the surface (such as a non-abrasive pad).

NOTE: For surfaces such as hard plastics or painted surfaces, including cars, use rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth.

It wasn't me .... I use razor blades. If the silicone creeps up between the tiles - after it's dry - I cut it with the razor blade and use a tweezers or needlenose pliers to yank it out.

razor blades and tweezers!
great concept....
I had wondered about that part..and have several x-acto knives around..well, not that easy to reach, around!
(grandkids aplenty here)

I think the family has resigned themselves, to the fact they may never sit on a couch again..I TRY..and try and try to keep things cleared..but mosaic stuff just multiplies!

at least I got it all out of the kitchen..they have the table back!...guess there's a limit to how many 'picnics' kids will have fun with!

That would have been I that recommended the Magic Eraser! It seemed to work well for me at the time but I have moved on to another cleanser. It's a DYNA WIPE from QVC. I don't know what's in it but it's working better. In desperation, I also use the wipes you use on spectacles and rubbing alcohol. For hunks of silicone, I use a knife and tweezers. BTW, I bought a syringe the other day and it was BRILLIANT to use. BUT the second time I attempted it, I could not get the plunger to go down. It was like there was a layer of trapped air between the silicone and plunger! (The opening was NOT clogged.)

Hi all. This is only my second time to post, but I'm a long time lurker. I'm just starting to mosaic so I read EVERYTHING on this forum to learn what to do (or NOT do). LOL
I ran across this old thread that suggests using WD 40 to remove silicone on tiles. Thought it might be helpful.

Thanks for that LINDEE: Gonna look for that PP stuff next time I'm at Lowes. Glad you came out of lurkdom, and happy to read that you're starting to mosaic. Can't wait to see your first project.

The guys that installed my bathroom granite used silicone
They made quite a little mess on the wall tile when the sill broke...anyway,
they cleaned it off with denatured alcohol.

Thank you I will try it!!
