Whats the best way to scrape off an old gasket that is stuck to the

Angle grinder.

I use a scraper designed for the purpose. Such as one of the ones at

You can never have too many tools!

If you use a knife or a screwdriver you have to be very careful not to
gouge the surface. A scraper has the right bevel and angle to scrape
without gouging.

Soak it in kero first.

 

When we got the old motors back from warranty claims - we threw them
in the furnace to get rid of the gaskets. did a great job.

It takes another hour before the sun goes over the yard-arm.

An old wood chisel - not too sharp

 

Head down to the pet store and buy a punnet of gasket bugs. They'll eat
it off in no time.
