Guitar picks are great for recesses.  I have a pair of thin fender picks (So thin you have to bend it to do anything) that I use for recesses.  @Studio42:  you can wipe the silicone off it easy enough.

Use the top corners for recesses.  Use the bottom corner for getting out old silicone.

You can’t really use these.  This is why I wouldn’t ask for a worn one.  They probobly have a thin or something they don’t use.
