ELASTOMERIC GASKET SQUEEZE-OUT REMOVAL METHOD AND KIT

摘要

A method is disclosed for trimming elastomeric gasket squeeze-out from between a removable workpiece and a static base, when there is compression between the workpiece and the base. The elastomeric gasket is deformable and compression causes squeeze-out along the edge. The method comprises using a tack release agent to remove the tackiness from the elastomeric squeeze-out and, following wetting of the squeeze-out, applying a thin blade adjacent the workpiece and trimming the excess squeeze-out by moving the blade along the workpiece.
