I recently used what I thought was paintable silicone caulk around my cabinets, but I made a slip-up by applying acrylic primer instead of the needed latex or oil-based options. Now I'm stuck on how to remove this caulk properly. Any tips or advice on what I should do next would be incredibly helpful! Thanks!

If you let that caulk dry fully, you might be able to pull it out in strips. I usually go for a putty knife for this, but there are plenty of tools that can get the job done. Just be careful with whatever you choose to use!
You'll want to scrape that caulk off with a blade. A good box knife works wonders for this, especially if you have extra blades handy. Just angle the razor slightly away from the cabinet while you cut.
Definitely agree! Just take your time with it to avoid damaging the cabinets.
I've had success with a 5-in-1 scraper or even a sharp 1/2" chisel, if you're comfortable using those!
