How to Remove Gasket Glue

When a gasket is added to any object, an adhesive or glue is added as well. The glue residue can remain behind when you change the gasket, or the glue may get on other objects when you add glue to a new gasket. Regardless of the reason, removing the gasket glue takes a little work.

• 1

  Spray gasket remover on the gasket or object that has gasket glue on it. Gasket remover is a common glue-removing agent used to break down the glue. Some gasket removers include a scraper.

• 2

  Allow the gasket remover to sit a few minutes to break down the adhesive material. The length of time will vary by the product used, but allow at least five minutes to give the remover time to break up the glue.

• 3

  Use the scraper to gently scrape away the glue from the gasket or object with glue. If the item is easily accessible, a scrub pad or similar item can help to remove the glue.
