Default Can't you just peel or scrape it off now that it's dry?

Curiosity compels me to ask: How the heck did you get silicone glue smeared all over your interior???

Without more details on your situation it's hard to offer any more advice, but I'm not aware of any solvent for silicone that would also be safe for plastic. That's why I suggested peeling/scraping it off. I believe a damp cloth is all your need to remove silicone glue before it's dry, but once it's dry.....well, there's a reason they use it to make fishtanks.

Default i was siliconing rattling parts inside.. i wiped with a hot damp cloth on parts with excess

silicone, but instead of taking it off, it got smeared all over =(

scraping it would be easy, but it is not a smooth surface =(

am i sh*t out of luck here?

Default Goo Gone?

I'd try rubbing it out with my fingers, then maybe Goo Gone for the leftovers.
