I've had thought of taking a coarse tube and a syringe to remove excess sealant at the end of the season.

One thing I have noticed is if you try to patch a tube with Stan's later on, it's a bit of a bugger getting the tube to lie in a way you want to stick on the patch.

All that being said, Stan's has gotten me home on three occasions without wasting a CO₂ cartridge, so I'm reluctant to give it up.
