Cutting out an Overflow Box

So I had to cut out all of the overflow plumbing in my tank.  We have moved and the tank is built into the wall between the living room and the vestibule.  There is no room for my sump filter anymore.

So the overflow box is cut out, patch applied to the bottom and water tested - no leaks!  The problem now is that I can't get the lines from the old silicone off the glass.  It's too thin to scrape with a razor, but you can feel a difference when it is wet and you run your finger across it.  I tried a bit of paint thinner... didn't even put a dent in it.

Do any of you out there have any experience with how to get rid of these or do I just have to 'suck it up'?

Thanks,

DryDock
