Seen a few quotes that said it's not good to use action to clean for a new gasket
Any comments

Meant acitone not action

I've used acetone, but not too much. A warm, not hot egg is easier to clean. I use a brush and spread the acetone on 1/4 of the rim only, then off with a dry cloth or for stubborn glue, a rag soaked in acetone. Also discovered my wife's Pampered Chef scrapers work really well, then a razor scraper.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

+1 on the razor scraper. Acetone only on the tough to get off spots.__________________________________________It's not a science, it's an art. And it's flawed.- Camp Hill, PA

After scraping I used an palm sander, 200 grit to to remove hard Rutland cement to prep Egg for Nomex with Permatex copper adhesive. Final clean with acetone and rag.BakerMan - Purcellville, VA "When its smokin' its cookin', when its black its done"

I've used this when replacing all four of mine with Rutlands. No acetone needed and does not harm the ceramic.Mike

I have seen pictures of the "new" egg Nomex gaskets and they look to be gray colored. The Nomex gasket I bought was almost white with no adhesive. I used Permetex copper to glue it to rim of Egg after reading what others have done. So far it has survived two 650 degree pizza cooks and still looks new.BakerMan - Purcellville, VA "When its smokin' its cookin', when its black its done"
