I believe Permatex makes a spray that dissolves gasket material and it then wipes off easily w/o any danger of damaging the gasket surface. Look in that section of a auto parts and supply store. Max

Here is the aerosol stuff:

Permatex® Low VOC Gasket Remover

I've had good luck with this stuff on solvent-based gasket sealants. It is not formulated to work on silicone-based gasket sealants.

For removing silicone-based gasket sealants, I use:

Permatex® Silicone Stripper Gasket Remover

This stuff works OK, but requires two or more applications and, even then, you'll still need to do some scraping. Also, it is now getting hard to find (Permatex may have discontinued it, I'm not sure).
