Removing 'Blue Gasket Maker' from magazines?

Strelok · January 11th, 2012, 00:14

Anyone know of an effective method to completely remove dried gasket maker within a magazine? I fucked up on one of my luger magazines and have to reseal it. Just curious if there is a quick and easy effective to remove it,

Thanks!

as far as I know not really... kinda just have to keep picking at it.. fortunatly it likes to come off in huge chunks.. as for the little stuff.. gotta pick at it.

Razor blade would be my weapon of choice. That's what I use on engine parts, never had to remove it from a mag though.

My method is to scrape off as much as I can. Then I spray it with Goo Gone and let it site for a few hours. After it will be much easier to scrape the rest off.

Flat head screwdriver... dental picks... wire brush... file...

It'll suck, and take a little while to get everything off, just keep scraping.

Dremel + small brass wheel/brush. But you need to be careful that you don't gouge the metal.

Otherwise, small xacto knife, flat head screwdriver and a dental pick.

Btw, I don't bother getting it completely clean. On the one or two I've had to redo, I just removed as much as I could. If there's a thin spot where it's stuck on good, just scratch it up a bit and make sure anything loose is pulled off then reapply. I found if its hard to get off, it's likely because there are scratches in the metal that it's grabbing onto.
