What happens here

The presenter finds that the reciprocating saw brush alone isn't sufficient for a perfectly clean channel. He applies brake parts cleaner to the channel, allowing it to soak and loosen stubborn adhesive residue. He then uses a scraper (an old flathead screwdriver is shown to work effectively) to meticulously remove any remaining material, aiming for a bare metal surface. He reiterates the importance of wearing a respirator during this process to avoid inhaling any fumes or lingering dust. The brake cleaner is effective at dissolving greasy and oily residues, preparing the surface for optimal adhesion of the new gasket.

Goal: After the initial rough cleaning, a solvent and scraper are used to remove any remaining adhesive and residue, ensuring the channel is completely clean and ready for the new gasket.

see if that helps so I'm fine the best tool is just a scraper or an old screwdriver this is just a scraper right here and that'll get the big stuff off and then I'll go back and dress it up with the saws off with the sawzall with the little brush attachment I think this is gonna be my little gym for this if you got an old crusty screwdriver it might work too let's get busy that's some pretty heavy all right so we got her done respirator off here got her all done here take these shades we're gonna go ahead and start installing the new seal and this is what it looks like okay so I didn't show you before it's like a rope okay a little light or some light it's like a rope okay not sure exactly what it's made out of but it's some sort of flame-retardant material since 3/8 rope with adhesive so let's open this guy up get him installed so I bought two of these kits I was getting pretty ambitious and was just gonna get it done I don't know last year and then it set around and I open one kit and now I've lost one of the containers of gasket sealant which kind of isn't cool but I think we'll have enough to get the job done so guys is the point where I asked you click that like button let me know what you're thinking if you have any questions about this post a comment down there below or even if you just want to leave something nice if you want to say something nice leave a comment down below we're gonna go ahead get this open and start working on getting this gasket replaced okay I procrastinated long enough so we're all clean down to the bare metal and that's what the instructions say the instructions say remove all old gasket and adhesive from the stove door channel clean to bare metal apply 1/8 bead of stove gasket adhesive in the channel around the door press gasket firmly into channel and wipe away any access close the door and let it stand for 12 hours and then fire the appliance with the low fire and slowly increase the heat to cure the adhesive that's it pretty cool let's get it done I'm gonna take this and measure out how much I need and cut it so I'm not dealing with this huge piece of rope I think that will get it I think we're gonna clean it one more time with brake cleaner before we get started guys brake cleaner is an essential thing to have around the shop brake parts cleaner you can just rinse off greasy oily messes with this brake parts cleaner it's it's just great to have around the shop now this were inside I don't think I'd be using this but…
