Hi everyone

I sealed my shower last weekend, and thought that I had removed all traces of sealant from the ceramic tiles when I sealed the corner gaps where the walls meet. But now when you look at the tiles at a certain angle, there a several tiles that have a smear of sealant on them. What can I do to get rid of this very layer. I used white Dow Corning 785.
The layer that is left does not look white that is why I thought that I had cleaned it of enough.

You can use a stanley blade to clean it off.
