After it cures, which it does using water, the only way I know of is
mechanical - i.e. scrape or wear off.

Assuming it's bonded to the surface. It doesn't to the nozzle so
faffing about trying to clean that part and getting the stuff on your
hands(*) is a waste of time. Wait for it to fully cure unscrew the
tube from the valve head and pull it of clean, prod about with
something small in the valve head and that comes up as well.

Before it cures, I've found that acetone seems to affect it fairly
well.

The instructions mention vegetable oil which does work to a degree and
doesn't dry out your skin like acetone. Tried vegetable oil on oil
based paint the other day, removed it fine and again far better for
the skin and easier to wash off than turps.

(*) Boy does it stick to skin, lightest of touch and it's stuck fast.
I'll be wearing lightweight disposable gloves next time, I couldn't do
the fine manipulation required for the tube cleaning with my proper
protective rubber gloves on so took 'em off...
