I found that a paint scraper with a razor blade worked better than a putty knife.

I used a very sharp chizzle and acetone to clean mine up before I used a wire brush, then a rag. Getting it completely clean sure seems to ensure a good job on the next gasket install.

Burn it off. Fire it up to 700 plus degrees and place a nut or bolt in the gap between the two halves. Should leave you with a good clean surface. I know it did in my case. Same Nomex same adhesive strip.

I agree with Mike on the heat but I used a MAPP torch and scraper,doing a short section at a time.
Good luck
