I've tried gloss undercoat & then gloss paint over the silicone but is now pealing off even before the kids use it.

Sealant was put on sat. Painted it with a mdf primer, Then painted it with white undercoat, yesterday painted it with gloss paint, This morning the paint pealing off where the sealant is. If I got what your suggesting could I sand paper the silicone out as much as I can then replce it with your suggesting would it work.
