removing old gaskets

Hi folks,

discovered, that old gaskets on clutch and alternator covers got stuck. Removed them using knife, but probably there are better ways (rotary tool, some chemicals etc). Please share your experience.

Thanks,
Kirill.

I go at it slowly & carefully. Thats aluminum, so, no rotary tools for me.
I do use a sharp, steel scraper, but I go at it with care & have the beveled edge down. I mite use a razor blade in some places, but theyre not so easy to put where I want them, since they flex so easily,An Exacto heavy blade doesnt flex much, & the Big REd handles fit the palm well,, Nothin wrong with a little acetone to get the last stuff, but, once its down to just a "see thru" layer of goo, its good enough,,unless its a head gasket, I want a head to look like it never had anything on it, I know, ya dont GOO a head, but they still get stuff stuck,

Autozone has some plastic blades for scrapers.
but for the most part prefer a sharp wood chisel.
