Some searching brought up this exchange about poor results with the stuff (and the suggestion that the stuff sold for less than 1/2 the price at Amazon is the same stuff as the Silca stuff):
https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=173205 I might try one of the methods described here: https://forum.cyclinguk.org/viewtopic.php?t=144502 I spilt some Stan's sealant on a pair of jeans and the stain didn't come out even after a few wash cycles. I finally got rid of most of the stain by doing the following: Apply washing up liquid (I used Tesco cheapo liquid) to the stain and work it into the dry fabric by hand. Then immerse it in a warm water and washing detergent mix, using a normal dilution. ie. using a normal handwashing strength wash. Wash it by hand in the mix. Then I used hand soap to scrub the wet and washed area. Then I gave it a normal second wash, rinse and spin dry. I managed to get rid of most of the stain on the outside of the jeans but the stain is still visible on the inside. So that will be dealt with on the next wash. Apparently the solvent is propylene glycol, which is I believe is water soluble. So the first thing to try may be simply to soak in a lot of water? Cross-eyed thinking by me, apologies. I should have said try something *containing* PG, then soak in water afterwards. Might even try dabbing with a little antifreeze! But lots of thinners, etc, also contain PG.
