I need to re-caulk the seam between my transom and swim platform. Any good technique you’ve used to make removal of the old caulking easier? Thanks Stephen Hill NT37-199 Tug’n Sent from my iPhone

Stephen, When I redid mine, it was just determination and hard work 🙂 I do not know of a "short cut". I used a long bladed "box cutter", a scraper, and my fingers. If I remember correctly, it took my wife and I about 3 hours to remove all of the old caulk. Then gave the area a good cleaning with acetone, I think, and then put in the new caulk. I suggest using some "backing compound" (it is a round, thick string like substance available at the hardware store) in first, and then use Sikaflex 295UV or 291. Good luck, and maybe some else has an easier method.
