Gasket prep techniques are as varied gasket material choice and everyone has their favorite. Today I prepped mine w/ what I feel is the quickest and easiest: the 3M Rust and Paint remover on a drill. I scraped off what remained of my dome gasket w/ razor blade. Figured it looked pretty clean so maybe some solvent would do the trick. Fail. Stinks and just made a sticky mess. Didn't waste any more time and got out my drill and 3M wheel. 15 minutes later and it's clean as a hound's tooth!

While the dome was off and getting ready for new gasket, I decided to clean the inside of the dome. First time in about 10 years. Scraped w/ putty knife, balled up aluminum foil, and finally with a metal mesh scouring pad. Stuff must have been over an 1/8 inch thick. Here's the pile of "Dome Leavin's":
