Yes of course, there should be no electrically or magnetically conductive material allowed in the gap.

Just to clarify things : My suggestion involved the use of a non-magnetic stainless steel screwdriver ONLY TO TURN THE SCREWS that hold the diaphragm clamping ring, so that it may be removed and replaced without fighting the magnetic field... I certainly did not mean to suggest using it as a cleaning tool!

To clean the gap, I use wide double faced tape (adhesive on both sides) stuck to one side of a thin piece of transparent plastic sheet... The kind of stuff they put in the collars of new dress shirts (both the tape and the plastic are available at artists supply shops).
