Actually Mo,it is real easy to clean off and it will seperate pretty good.I used it mostly for the valve covers with new gaskets and would use it on one side of the gasket only,usually between the gasket and the valve cover.Of course you want to make real sure that the side that you dont use the sealer on is real clean and smooth as possible.The stuff worked real good on valve covers,oil pans,and the pan under the intake esp. on the ends.

near as messy.
