Indeed I am resigning myself to lots of elbow grease, I read somewhere, can’t remember where, that this person spent 10 hours preparing the surfaces!

JezzaPeach:
A hot air blower and a wood chisel as you can control it better than a Stanley blade and stop it ‘catching’.

Rayzerman:
I use Permatex gasket remover, I spray or brush it on (only to where you want it) and leave for up to half hour.  This softens old gaskets.  May need a couple of applications, but scrape off the softer stuff first.

Wondering if you could carefully brush on some paint stripper.......

Seabeowner:
I usually soak it with wd40 and use a window scraper that uses standard Stanley blades. Quick to replace and wide enough to slide to the side to cut through stubborn stuff.
