Anyone try Sealmate tool?

I noticed after putting my bike back together and putting fresh fork oil that one of my forks were seeping. I ordered a new set of seals but a few minutes later ran into a website about the Sealmate www.sealmate.net Fork Seal Cleaner. I ordered a couple and should have them[in a day or two. I will report back with my findings.

Not exactly a new idea, been using a thickness gauge (feeler gauge) for years to do the same thing.

Yeah Steell they actually introduced it back in 03-04 I guess. But i'm sure some people have been using thin plastic and the sorts for years. It's just that apparently nobody let anyone else know about it. From what I hear it has saved alot of people from either spending alot of money having a shop do it ($2-300)or spending money and wasting time doing it themselves. I hope it works for me. :woohoo:
