It is though, innit? I actually wasn't going to peel it, but then I remembered people *****ing online about how heavy the dried sealant gets, blah, blah, blah, so I decided to have a peeling session and weigh it. It was 27g, on the dot, in a 28mm tire with about 2k miles on it. I can live with those numbers.

Yeah, I didn't need too good of a reason.
