I guess I should be more carefuly. It doesn't foam. . .it bubbles. It's like when you throw pasta in boiling water and put a lid on it. That lacey froth forms inside. . .and then it spills everywhere and causes a mess.
The FAF is pretty much the exact same, remove the lid from the pot froth goes away peel the tire apart and the bubbles dissipate quickly. what it does to the stem is just. . .not clogs wrong word, but gets it sticky. Adds to the odds small particles will get stuck in the stem itself or cause the stem to stick to the rim wall(the copper surrounding the actual twist in part of the valve.)
