[Help Me!!] Silicone between glass removal

[Marquiseo]

I have tried a razor blade behind it to remove this piece but their isn't enough room to slice far enough for removal. Anyone can think of a way to remove this glass piece without damaging the outer glass?

You could try heating it from the back. They also sell a silicone remover at Home Depot that will dissolve it. I cant remember what its called but if you ask for it they should know. It's usually around the paint area.

Try some braided fishing line like power pro. Get it in the gap and pull forward. Should cut through fairly easily. If not try "sawing" back and forth with it a bit.

+1 on the fishing line, I forgot I've used that in the past as well.

I think silicone can withstand some extreme temperatures. Even at the proper temp, I will have damaged the glass. I saw some at lowes but its not aquarium safe and I can risk making the tank unusable. Thanks for the reply.

I was thinking that but it is almost the same size or bigger as the tip of the razor and that can't even get through. I will try to saw more though.

Thanks guys! I have found a way. I used needle nose pliers and applied pressure on the small glass piece.
