The Effeto Mariposa came off the tires, as mentioned above, without a problem. It was the cleaning of the hook of the rim that was difficult, and I was unable to clean it that well.
Also the sealant had gotten under the rim tape that I had to replace. Some of the plastic spokes covers had come off and had to be glue-on.
In the end I got the tire to seal w/o sealant, but was losing air quickly.
I have no experience with Orange seal.
After looking at the relatively new rim I am still not convince that I should continue using tubeless even though I have been using them since 2012.
