I prepped and primed an Orc fleet for Uncharted seas. 24+ hours later the primer is still tacky.

I washed the resin in dishsoap and water, rinsed, let it dry for a week before I primed them.

I had shaken the can, cleared the nozzle. It was fairly warm, though it was humid.

Should I give it a little longer? Are there any cleaners (Simple Green, Purple Power specifically) that I should avoid if I need to strip them?

I would wait for a day with humidity below 70%. Then I'd try giving it another very light coat of primer and then putting it someplace with plenty of airflow. If that doesn't work and you want to strip it I'd use Simple Green. Kevin TMP link

Hey Lord Hypnogogue

Have a look here, there are several suggestions from others that seem to be working.
