Ok, here's the problem. I used some GE tub & bathroom clear silicone caulk for filling some minor imperfections on my ground crypt cap stone, and apparently it's a bad batch. It's been roasting in the Florida sun @ 90 degrees for just under 10 hours, and still hasn't even begun to skin over yet. Normally, it'd be paintable inside of an hour...
It actually feels like the consistency of warmed petroleum jelly at this point, and feels nearly as slick as teflon. So far, I've went though an entire roll of paper towels carefully wiping it down so as not to spread it, or as little as possible while trying to remove it. But, there is enough residue that I am sure no sealer, adhesive, etc will be able to bond to the surface.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might get this crap off? I should note that it's on a sanded paint surface, so yeah, I'll be vacuuming my driveway forthwith to extract paper towel debris & sending GE a more than mildly irritated email directly.
