The seal is so hard to remove. Is there a recommended way to remove the seal?

if you are talking about a piece of colored tape sort of seal, just give it a tug. If you are referring to the sort of clear cellophane cover over the ink hole, that stays put, as does the plastic contraption that snaps it into the printer compartment.

Try 3m caulk remover. May not dissolve it, but at least should make removal easier

No need to remove seal. It can take a lot if heat. Use vents to control air flow to coals.

The rubber seal can be removed. I use the tip of a paring knife and carefully lift the seal and then pull it out by hand. Wash the rubber seal, wash the lid, when dry replace the seal. It works.

I haven't done it, but you might try carefully scraping it off with an exacto knife and/or maybe some acetone. Good luck.

I used the plastic seal that was suggested on Amazon, but I am sure a wax seal would work too

I have had no problem with the seal. I pressed the seal together so hard that my fingers hurt and I also went back and forth with the white closure 4 or 5 times before I used the vacuum on it. All of my seals have held and it has been over a month now and none have opened up. I think that you have to make sure the two zipper seals are tightly together before using the vacuum. Good luck, I hope this helps.

The seal is made of foil - a sharp pointed knife or razor cutter will open it easily - don't squeeze the sides of the container too tight when you remove the seal, as it may cause the liquid to flow out & spill. Hope this helps.

I don't think that you can! I have also learned the hard way, and I make sure that I seal the container well after using it!

It's not that easy. I just tried to remove it for the first time and took me about 2 min. Best way seems to pry it off from the top down.

Sometimes I have to push the little centre nob to the side more than once to release the seal. hth

time and ease. I used a few Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and had cleaner wax to rub it off. Good luck.

Just pull and it will comes out. May be your didn't changed for a longtime so it might be glued in. Pull hard.

It might be worth trying, though I am unaware of it helps cracked seals, mine were only dried out & softened with this product. A less expensive option if it works for you, compared to just replacing the entire seal.

It is difficult to remove cured thermal compound, but it can be done. Use 91% or higher rubbing/isopropyl alcohol to soften it up, and pry from the edges slowly with a non-metal tool. You may want to try twisting the cooler a bit too, that can soften it up and it may pop off when given enough torque. Once removed use the alcohol and lots of paper towels to clean things up.

Try taking the lid off when it is not sealed. Then seal it and try it again. You'll have major trouble removing the lid if it's sealed.

You need to make sure that slide the outer hinge out correctly!! I had that problem too, until I figured out how to seal it properly!!
