They have these circle pieces that are gasket removers. They dont take metal away and can be found at any harbor freight or tools store. Razor is only good for large chunks you gouche into it enjoy a blown hg

You need red 3m circle pads. You can buy a set at Vatozone.

This is what I use also. I just had to remove a composite gasket last week and I also had one hell of a time removing it. It was like it was ------- glued on. Good luck
