It stays fluidish longer for sure inside the tube. My tubeless 29er seems to dry up @ 4-5 months, but I have a set of 700c tubes I did almost a year ago and they're still wet but don't seem to pool up. I figure if I can get a riding season out of a tube, I'm cool just making a fresh one when it does go flat/dries out. Considering the number of thorns I pull out of the tires, I'm happy with how well the Stans works. I top off the PSI maybe every 3rd ride, but rarely have they full on flatted.
I did have one debacle when I decided to "refresh" the sealant in a tube that flatted...I had forgotten that I originally injected it with a Blue Bontrager sealant (crappy stuff btw) and I added Stans. Apparently the 2 liquids did not play nice together and created a solid mass inside the tube! Not the normal Stans boogers...the tube looked like a snake that had just eaten a mouse! Maybe there IS truth you shouldn't mix dark and light elixers. I should have a beer and think about it.
