Sticky Stuff Remover Reasonably Effective on Dried Sealant

Yesterday was the big test of the Sticky Stuff Remover recommended  by GCN for the removal of dried sealant. My Boone represented a worse case scenario with buckets of dried sealant on both the down tube and seat tube from several tire punctures .Here's how the test played out:

• I applied the Sticky Stuff Remover fairly heavily with a blue hospital towel and scrubbed vigorously with minimal discernable effect.
• I waited thirty minutes, repeated the process and was able to remove about half of the sealant.
• I waited another thirty minutes, repeated the process a third time and was able to remove almost all of the sealant. I am confident that one more cycle would have removed any residual.

The Sticky Stuff Remover did not appear to damage the paint. With three applications, I used about half an eight ounce bottle to clean one frame. I plan to continue using this product at least until I find another sealant remover of comparable effectiveness.
