gasket remover, interesting, thanks :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: 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  :daumenhoch:

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

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.
