Scrape it with a stanley blade. It is hard to get off, that is probably why it works so well.

oh i'll have to keep my eye out for that then,

to make head gaskets LOL only joshing!

hady studd around the thermostat housing or water pump!

i find that clark rust converter is good as a cleaner as its a mild acid!
soaked into a wrag its quite good but you have to be quick as it makes therag disinigrate!

cheap too

The best way to apply Wellseal is with a small brush I've found.

I'm fairly sure its Xylene based, so try some of that, if you can get it, and if it isn't too toxic?!
