Removing sealant.

Is there an easy way to remove old sikaflex or is it just a matter of knuckling down with a stanley blade and sandpaper which seems to take forever.

Fraid so Mucker!....a good Solvent will help with residue..and may soften it some Steve..otherwise in my experience just time,care,and elbow-grease.
