Super Idea.. ^..
Actions I've taken.. Be sure the tire does not reposition itself during the repair.. Sometimes, it seems to reposition itself off center with the value not straight.. Seems that might have been a problem.. 2. While on the road , I've switched to mini-Topeak Pump with hose attached. Those single barrel pumps seems to vibrate the stem about while adding pressure , likely causing friction at the base of the stem. That seems to have helped.
