Working on the repairs to my Defiant and will be installing new gaskets. Is it neccasary to remove the new paint from the grooves to get proper adhesion?
 
Don't know if it is necessary, but I wire wheeled the groves on my Encore down to bright cast before putting in the gasket cement. Didn't take long and I knew I didn't want to take that darn fire back out again.
