I already know about Hylomar Blue, and cured a test strip. 

True, like Yamabond, Hylomar doesn't harden.  But I really didn't like how messy it remained.  It has the consistency of half dried bubble gum, like the one you stepped on in the parking lot.

I got the impression that removing Hylomar would be a pain.

Yamabond appears to be a cleaner removal.

Can anyone vouch for this?

I used Yamabond on my side cases, which ended up being removed two or three times a season, and I might add, sealed W/O gasket, and the Yamabond came off the sealed surface in long stripes. Just clean the surface with brake cleaner, before re-assembly. Some of the sealer will squeeze out, but the outside surface can easily be wiped off. Most of the newer automotive RTV's work just a good, and available at any parts store.

Hylomar removes easily with a rag and lacquer thinner or acetone

Most of the Japanese factory products are very good, I have used Hondabond with success. My favorite is the Toyota product especially designed for oil pans.

A good carbide scraper names light work of any clean up.

Ok, Graham,  you just made me buy another tool

[fastg]

You can never have to many tools:) Drag it across the surface to be cleaned, rather that push it. That will get most of the goop off, maybe a little push action for the hard to remove patches.

Sorry to be the link grouch here but theres something fishy going on.

When I clicked on that tool link, I put the scraper in my shopping cart only.

An hour later, or less,  I got this text:

Of course being well aware of phishing schemes a plenty,  I didn't click on that link.

I called Amazon CS who verified no message was sent to me and no items were in my cart.

I suggest that anyone wanting to buy items, go through your account and login, don't do it through a link,  and don't trust any alarming messages.  Call and verify. 

Amazon CS is 1800 388 5512
