A problem with any sealant (fixaflat, slime, Stan's, latex, whatever) is that it considers the valve to be a hole in the tube (or tire system) and acts accordingly. Technically, the slime isn't wrong, as it is a hole in the system, but valve core replacement due to leaks caused by the glorp that is supposed to be preventing leaks is a minor annoyance.
