Default Flat repair

I doubt there is water in 'wasbenzine'. It is a degreaser
and very volatile. I patched a pinch flat from last Sunday
and took some pictures:

It took about 10 minutes total. While waiting I took the
laundry out OF the dryer ;-)

Ok, I'm wrong. No water, which is odd because most of the articles I
found on removing silicone mold release specified either hot water or
isopropyl alcohol.

Incidentally, benzene is a component of coal tar naphtha:

"Benzene’s trade names and synonyms are Polystream, benzol,
pyrobenzol, coal naphtha, and phene."

So, Andrew's magic "rubber cleaner" might be the same composition as
your magic "wasbenzine".
