How do you remove old digitizer gasket

Replaced battery in an iPad Air. How do you remove old gasket material on digitizer? Alcohol just makes the glue gummy. Can’t scrape with a razor or it scratches the plastic. Goo be gone doesn’t work.

(I successfully used razor to remove glue from iPad case.)

Buy a new digitizer? Don’t think so. At this point I’m ready to chuck Air into garbage and order an iPad Pro.

Acetone does a very good job and removing glue but just make sure you don’t get it on any plastic components in the iPad like the speaker, a plastic spudger is quite useful as well. if you have a black screen you can use a black marker to cover up the scratches.
