particularly thick gaskets, several applications may be required.   Basically you 
spray it on, then let it sit for a few minutes, and it dissolves the old gaskets 
away.

Be advised that it is extremely democratic in its effect.   When you spray 
your cylinder heads to dissolve the header gaskets, it will simultaneously 
dissolve the engine paint.   So mask accordingly.

Also, if you are lying underneath the car, remember that the laws of gravity 
are fairly universal.   Spraying straight up onto your cylinder head will 
initally be productive, but when the gasket remover and/or pieces of gasket are 
dislodged, chances are pretty good that they will fall downward, which is where 
you don't want to be.
