Silca Ultimate Tubeless Sealant clogging valves?
I just filled my new tires with the stuff, and now it's started to clog my valves. It took about 200 miles. It's actually hard to inflate them now, partially because it require more effort, but also because it's hard to measure the existing pressure in the tire.
What gives?

Speaking as someone that deals with Hundreds of Used inner tubes every year... I immediately throw away ones with sealant in them...
