The roof curves down over the edge to the little gutters-that should call for reg caulk not self leveling right? Doug

There are lots of good "handles" if you use a razor blade.

I do have to try plastic razor blades one of these days. I'm pretty used to using a metal blade, but still have to be careful and the occasional nick or gouge is bound to happen.
The plastic ones seem to have their place with more delicate tasks.

Mineral spirits won't eat into the finish of gel-coat, most all fully cured paints or powder coats.
Not is you use it for cleanup, you'll still need to use a different solvent or wash with soap to clean the surface prior to re-caulking. Mineral spirits/turpentine/paint thinner does leave an oily residue.

OH really?????? Maybe if people would actually post what they are asking so people don't have to guess may help.
PLENTY of people want to know how to remove caulking in other places other than the roof.
