During the process of doing the BLHM I managed to get some silicon sealent on the housing. I tried using a razor blade to get it off with no luck. Any other ideas?

Try using direct heat. You can do by just using a blow dryer.

I used WD-40 and it worked like a champ!

Edit wow I didn't even realize I already commented on this. I'm not sure man I just cleaned some of my mess off of the front of the light.
