    Had a camper shell waterproofed - before they could advise on the issue the guys used silicone to fill in a variety of the nooks and crannies, also getting on the paint. I would have preferred butyl tape... Any recommendation on products to remove?

    I’d use 3M adhesive remover. Score the surface and scrape with a credit card but there’s probably an easier way. IMG_9849.jpg

    I would think it’ll be ok on the composite bed.
