A heat gun should soften the old stuff but I wonder what I could use to
remove it?
I have a number of leaks at joints that I have tried to fix but there is
so much old sealant already there that applying more just doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

Or maybe a smaller one for a Dremel tool (if you have one).
Other than a sharp putty knife, you might want to try gasoline or laquer
thinner.
I have my doubts about the heat-gun. You might also look at a plumbers
torch.
I really don't know how these silicone or latex sealants react to
extreme heat.

From looking at your replies in this forum, you're pretty much clueless
about everything.
You're a moron, & I'm starting to feel sorry for you.

repair your old gutters. People with a need for effective solutions
would immediately replace the old gutters with new...faster, and much
longer lasting. Talk to a pro that does seamless gutters. The field is
very competitive most places and prices are correspondingly
reasonable. End result will look better on your house, too.
