Cleaning and resealing a tank - Help needed

[Tullimonstrum]

Hi Everyone, im currently cleaning a tank for resealing and im almost at the sealing step, except for that fact that there are small pieces of loose silicone which has fallen down into the seam. The small silicone scraps can't be vaccumed up, removed by acetone and similar means.

Can I just continue on with the resealing process or do I have to get the small pieces removed first ? And in that case, how do I do it ?

Have you tried a small narrow nozzle with high pressure air to blow the pieces out of the seams?

Haven't tried that yet, good idea. I'll return with feedback after I try it :)

It works on half of the pieces, the other half are still in the seam unfortunately

I assume you have tried to get them out with a metal dental hooked pick or thin guitar string?

If you place the tank upright and rinse the tank with a hose and sprayer attachment they will come out.
