In the turbine engine overhaul shop where I work, silicone RTV sealant and silicone filler material is removed simply by soaking in kerosene. The trick is to keep it wet. Removal time depends on thickness, and could take up to 48 hrs to remove on extra thick applications. Best method is to scrape off what you can and then use a chemical stripper to do the rest. Thin silicone residue only takes a few hours to remove with stripper.
