    Hi Dignity
    If you go to any fibreglass supplier they will sell mould wax which is what you want. There is no cutting compound in mould release wax. Your local fibreglass factory may sell you some if you ask nicely.
    Noelm, I havent found acetone or anything else gets rid of silicone. It does dilute it but like a Horrible Dreaded Pox nothing gets rid of it

    Can’t hurt
    Label lost long time ago unfortunately. It originally was packed as part of a cable joint package, found it very usefully for getting cable through pipes etc and only need a very small amount so it has lasted forever, a citron based cleaner from switzerland was used to clean up excess but don't have any and the stuff you buy these days is useless.

    Thanks COL, to be truthful it's not a large stain abut half the sise of my palm, wax job coming up next week and hopefully if it decides to change its small enough to not really be noticeable.

    Dignity, if left alone it will probably wear off sooner or later. I dont know of any harm it will do.
