Ive used this in the past and will never do so again. It is a chore to remove A dab or two might do okay, but don't get overzealous. I had a friend once who put a solid bead of this stuff around his valve covers, we had to use a crow bar to remove them

very true about the 3M weatherstrip glue, just a few dabs will do you. we also tried using a continuous strip on the valve covers on the bosses old fuel altered, and it was quite the chore to remove the gaskets and glue when the time came.
