Well I've really done it this time. Four years ago I bought a new Gold Crown IV with the spiffy leg levelers that have the ball bearings in the feet caps to make leg leveling relatively easy. The table was installed in the family room on a floor covered with ceramic tile. Since the floor would frequently be washed with a mop, I was concerned about water getting into and under the feet cups and gumming up the works.
Enter the boneheaded move. In any effort to protect the feet cups from damage I used a silicon sealant product to seal around the bottom of the cups and also to seal the small gap between the feet themselves and the caps.
Fast forward 4 years to today. I made arrangements with a premier table mechanic to come by and redo the table the next time he's in the area. I bought the rails and cushions, and almost as an after thought, I realized I'd better remove the sealant so he'll be able to level the table.
At this point most of you are probably sitting in your chairs laughing and saying, ok genious, now just exactly how are you going to get the silicon up? Well friends, that's my question to you. Any ideas how I might get this stuff off without ruining the floor or the feet and cups? I had no idea this stuff would cure like iron. I was use to the rubbery stuff you could simple peel off. I didn't even know silicon could do this! Live and learn.
Anyway, at this point pride has to take a back seat. I screwed up royal. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
