Tired of scraping gaskets that refuse to be removed without taking aluminum along with it? Here's what you do; smear a strong paste type paint and varnish remover on the gasket, let it set for about 5 minutes and you'll be amazed how easily the gasket will lift off. Those that have become a permanent part of the engine case may have to have the surface of the gasket shaved off with a super sharp wood chisel for the remover to penetrate. But it WILL come off!

It also works well for decarbonizing.

Well, Permatex "Gasket Remover" in a spray can is made for that. It will soften the gasket and dissolve whatever sealer there is before you can finish you beer.
