Removing joint compound

[Danita Morris]

Does anyone know how to remove hardened joint compound from bathroom sink basins and tubs? Sloppy contractors placed it there and I don't want to damage my new sink or tub! Also the silver paste that they use to put on roofs they got some on my bathroom fixtures and I don't know what to use to remove it! Any suggestions for any of the above???

As said, joint compund as used in drywall joints comes off super easy. You must be talking about spackling to fill plaster holes or maybe grout for ceramic tiles. Which one? How in the h_ll did they get roof sealant on your bathroom fixtures? Fire em.
