The sealant is the Schwalbe one, any suggestion for removing the blue-ish stain from the fabric would be appreciated.
Cheers
I spilt some Stan's sealant on a pair of jeans and the stain didn't come out even after a few wash cycles. I finally got rid of most of the stain by doing the following:
Apply washing up liquid (I used Tesco cheapo liquid) to the stain and work it into the dry fabric by hand. Then immerse it in a warm water and washing detergent mix, using a normal dilution. ie. using a normal handwashing strength wash. Wash it by hand in the mix. Then I used hand soap to scrub the wet and washed area. Then I gave it a normal second wash, rinse and spin dry.
I managed to get rid of most of the stain on the outside of the jeans but the stain is still visible on the inside. So that will be dealt with on the next wash.

1. The farmer probably has public liability insurance cover, because I am pretty sure it's normal for farmers to have a combined insurance policy which covers farm buildings, livestock, farm machinery, employers' liability and public liability, most likely with NFU Mutual who insure most farmers. Although he might initially want to settle the matter privately without notifying his insurer, I expect that might well change if and when you make a formal claim using the small claims procedure, and that at that point he would pass the matter to his insurer, who would probably be better/easier for you to deal with.

Raw Brownie Bar (Vegan)
220-230gr (200gr when the stone is removed) Safawi or Medjool dates
90gr raw almonds (about ½ cup)
60gr raw cashews
30gr pumpkin seeds
60gr unsweetened medium shredded coconut (about ⅔ cup)
60gr raw cocoa powder (⅓ cup)
100gr unsweetened granola/muesli
+-150gr cold water (about 1 cup) adjust according to the desired texture
¼ teaspoon salt
1 heap teaspoon cinnamon powder
Put the dates in a (heat-resistant) bowl and cover with 150gr of boiling water. Leave for 5-10 minutes and mix the other ingredients in the meantime.
Ground the almonds, cashews and (if using those) the pumpkin seeds and briefly mix them in the food processor.
Weight the shredded coconut and the cocoa powder, add the salt and cinnamon. Add this in the food processor and briefly mix.
Drain the water from the dates in the food processor and quickly mix.
Chop the dates in half or quarters and add them with the cinnamon powder in the mix, until fairly smooth, if necessary add a couple of spoons of water.
If using raisins or sultanas, add them only now and briefly mix them so they don't get completely shredded, you want to have them mixed evenly with the rest, but kept whole if possible.
Lay the mix in a tray lined with greaseproof paper, sprinkle with a bit of shredded coconut, put another piece of greaseproof paper and roll with the pin.
Leave in the oven Mk3 for about 30 minutes, or until gets a bit firm, then let cool down. Can be kept in the fridge for over a week.
