my rental needs a showerhead upgrade..

By knitrat

I am renting a house and would like to change the showerhead, but the existing fixture is sealed with silicone tape. How do people deal with this stuff? Should I go at it with a monkey wrench and just force it off and tear the tape or is there a better way to approach it? Also, can anyone suggest how to remove it (it's sticky stuff).Here's a related question, does anyone know of a less dangerous /toxic sealant than tile and tub sealant? I wonder what people doing green renos use..thanks for your wisdom, curblies.. »MORE
