There is little chance that a product designed to remove a piece of paper would work The use of a gasket that is based on oil would be entirely safe Silicone gaskets should not be used since the product completely dissolves any sealants currently in place and will form in the future.

This has just been used to remove gaskets from an aluminum engine case and clutch cover on a 1985 Honda Shadow. My reaction was to soak it in for 30 minutes as per the directions After 45 minutes of trying my plastic scrapers with no success, I gave up. As I mentioned, I used a box knife to cut the gasket and it is still glued pretty well. I applied a second coat, but it was nearly empty after the first one and it wasn't a very large area so I didn't apply more. Although it did soften up enough to make it chewable, it did not do so However, I was expecting more from this gasket remover, since people are saying that it won't make gaskets fall off (even though it would be nice if they did), but I know it won't. What do you think of this product? Would you buy it No, but again I'm using 30-plus year old gaskets, so you may want to try it if your gasket is newer, but based on what I've done I'm not sure if your gasket will hold up. For now, I guess I will use a box knife blade and acetone just like usual, to try to find a better way to remove gaskets.
Ok, so I have a stubborn gasket and I scraped it for 30 minutes without success, then I did it again about an hour later, nothing, and now I plan to use Goo Gone. As soon as I don't succeed with the first method, I'm going to grind it off aluminum is my poison of choice.
There is a lot of work in this, but you have to keep repeating it Applying it repeatedly over a period of time and slowly wearing it The gasket was caked on a metal surface, so I was trying to remove it. After applying the chemical, waiting 30 minutes for it to do its work, scrapping off what you could, then reapplying it, it took several days to complete the process. While it is a long and arduous process, it is effective.
The spray on version did a great job of getting baked on intake gaskets off, but this stuff doesn't live up to that. The time spent trying would not be worth it. Additionally, the advertisement does not say it is not returnable!.
The gaskets in engines are difficult to remove without damaging the gasket surface whenever I work on them. It is especially problematic to damage aluminum with razor blade scrapers that are too hard. These scrapers can loosen the gaskets, causing the aluminum to just rust. After soaking in for a short while, it leaves a lasting impression on you. Instead of destroying the surface or leaving a residue of the gasket on the surface, you can simply assemble the car and discover a new leak. As well as being easy to use, it is also effective in areas that are difficult to access.
With a wooden chisel, I had to remove a tough gasket. Allow it to soak numerous times and then spread it again. The gasket was able to be handled after it had softened up. You can reapply if you give it time and if you give it time, but it's not the best way. It was enough to cover the entire gasket with the entire can.
As it turns out, you can't use it to remove UltraBlack RTV of any kind. I think it was an excellent.
It does not work when I push the spray nozzle. The nozzle flies across the garage if you press harder. My little nozzle pressed when I finally got a chance to do it The stump is less and the application is more. It wasn't much of a day. Spend your money on something worthwhile. I used it because it was cheaper than good stuff. Don't be like me and try this.
