I was renewing the mastic around my fridge vents yesterday using Sikaflex. Is there anything that I can use to dissolve excess smears of this mastic? It seems resistant to most solvents I've tried.

you can get silicon remover but its messy and could attack paint
when applying mastic invest in some big wipes from most building supplies outlets these remove un skinned mastic and can be used to shape the mastic
probably a bit late now but might help other readers. when you over use it, wd40 is ace at removing it. Haven't tried it on dried mastick though.

A plastic scraper dipped in white spirit moves it.
Thinners will remove smears--check that the paint is original first as thinners may attack after painted areas.
