How to Use Permatex Gasket Remover

The mounting flanges of metal and plastic parts contain imperfections that allow fluids and gases to leak past two connected parts. Gaskets seal the imperfections to keep fluids from leaking past. In time, heat and pressure cause an installed gasket to bond to one or both mounting surfaces between parts. Permatex gasket remover breaks the bond between the gasket and the mounting surface of the part.

Instructions

1

Move the part with the adhered gasket to a well-ventilated area.

2

Cover the area of the part surrounding the gasket with masking tape, if the part is painted. Permatex gasket remover will damage painted surfaces.

3

Shake the Permatex gasket remover for the time specified on the back of the aerosol can.

4

Turn the can of gasket remover upside down. Press the angled brush located on the top of the can against the stuck gasket. Apply gasket remover to the entire surface of the gasket. Allow the remover to sit on the gasket for 15 to 20 minutes.

5

Scrape the gasket from the part with a plastic scraper to avoid damaging the parts mounting flange.

6

Wipe the mounting surface of the part with a clean rag to remove any gasket residue remaining on the parts mounting flange.
