Sandy  and all,
Speaking professionally regards to the Silicone RTV  sealant,

The old sealant acts as a primer for the new sealant.

A  good degreaser (don't use finger nail polish remover) denatured 
alcohol is  just as good. MEK and/or Acetone is fine also - and a 
sharp razor blade  will leave behind a base to bind to. The smoother 
the better but there  really isn't a reason or good way to remove ALL 
the Silicone base formed  by a good seal from the past. One does need 
to have everything smooth but  a very fine grit sand paper will also 
buff up the edges to seal, again  leaving behind the base coat from 
the first sealing.

The silicone  sealant actually bonds with the glass and becomes part of it.

Hope you  found the hardware store by now, and we missed you at the  
convention!

Hi Charles,
 
Wife went and had a total knee replacement so I have been"Nurse Betty" for  
the last month. This is hard work. I can't wait to get back to my part time job 
 and get a little relaxation:)
 
Sincerely,
 
Sandy
