[s-cars] Solvent for Flexible Electronic Sealant??

[Kirby Smith]

If the sealant is a silicone rubber, the only thing I've heard of that
won't also damage the guts would be silicone oil.  Silicon oil will
attack silicone rubber.  Try DOT5 brake fluid if you don't get any
better suggestions.

I know something exists to do this and I hate to experiment - I tend to get carried away and go overboard when I start playing with the chemistry set.
