gasket remover, interesting, thanks

ive removed powder with nitromoors in the past, but under the plastic layer, it does seem to be like a glued on rubber substance, like a gasket

Not all gasket removers will work, I know Permatex will but you may have to experiment.

i always use a heat gun and a sharp blade to get any real hard powder off.
takes ages but it comes off.

I have used Oxy/actelene before

No fooker is listening Dan no matter how many times you put the information up.

Just how many threads do we still get regarding spoke lengths even though I did a walkthrough.

Those threads always make me laugh! You always post in the thread like you've stormed in the room, throw down the info then walk out slamming the door behind you!

I have stopped bothering these days Rich, makes me laugh though when somebody asks the spoke length question, gets rubbish advice from people and then 2 weeks later up pops a thread asking why the spokes they have bought are too long.
