Unhappy Silicone Application....Driving me nuts!!!

First, I would like to say hello to everyone. This is my first post.

I have a 55 gal tank I am trying to re-silicone. This will be my 4th attempt at the back left corner. I'm getting so frustrated that I'm thinking about trashing this tank. So, before I try again are there any tips the experts can give me. Here's what I've done so far:

1. empty the tank
2. removed the old silicone (noticed there were some bubbles in it)
3. took a razor blade to the glass to remove left over silicone
4. tried to use windex to remove residue silicone
5. going to let it sit for a couple of day to completely dry out

If it does not work this last time, its going in the trash, and I'm buying a new one. Anyone know a place where I can get a 55 gal tank for a reasonable price? Thanks for your help....
