Seal replacement questions;
Elde
Posts: 148
Burned out my stock seals doing a cleaning burn and getting distracted... So, I've got a couple of questions;
Most of the seal came off with some very gentle persuasion from a paint scraper, but some cottony bits remain - how do I get those off?
How clean does the surface need to be? In some spots, it cleans easily all the way down to unglazed ceramic, in others there's a stubborn black glaze.

If you heat it up, the old gasket comes off easier.
I used a sander the last time I scraped off an old gasket. You want the old adhesive and gasket completely removed. Then you want to remove from the gasket surfaces any trace of oil/grease/fat with some degreaser - isopropyl alcohol, acetone or mineral spirits work.

Thanks!
