It seems to deteriorate if you prod it with fingers ,so dont go touching if it looks all nice as it will start to fall apart

only prob with removing it is you then have no heat or sound proofing to that part of the b/head,the reason it crumbles is because of the heat from the exhaust which breaks it down over the yrs,then when you touch it it falls apart
