Alright well I have a G.5 and I was going to put in a size A center trac and put flowable silicone in but when I took out the pads the was some nasty gunk where they were sitting. If you guys could help me by telling me how to clean this that would be great! Thanks and feel free to PM me.

Is it sticky gunk? If so, I would just forget about it. If it’s not, a toothpick should work.

The “nasty gunk” you found is a type of glue used to help hold the silicone ring in. It’s not a big deal. Like Apetrunk said, just use a tooth pick or I use a needle or small screwdriver to scrape it out.
