How should I clean up uncured sealant?

Troubleshooting
Sealant not dispensing from the tube.
Ensure the cartridge is properly loaded into the applicator gun and the release trigger is engaged. Check that the nozzle tip has been cut open sufficiently.
Poor adhesion to a surface.
Verify that the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or contaminants before application. Ensure the product has not passed its expiry date.
Uneven bead application.
Practice with the applicator gun on a scrap surface to achieve a consistent pressure and movement. Ensure the nozzle cut is appropriate for the joint width.
Sealant remains tacky after application.
This may indicate insufficient ventilation or application in very high humidity. Ensure adequate airflow and avoid application in extreme weather conditions. Allow more time for curing.
