I noticed that, with my spare LIM and UIM. The gasket is TOUGH to get off.. Best I could do was scrape it.. It was a bit tedious, but oh well..

Spray on gasket remover + razor blade = cut,burning hands...

Seriously though, if you have access to a wire wheel, that usually can take it off pretty quick. Even a wire wheel bit on a drill, put some pressure on it and it takes the stuff right off..

I just found a dremel wheel that takes that gasket stuff off like CRAZY! And its soft enough that it does nothing to the aluminum!!!

Too bad I only had one!
