As the title implies some times my prints come out kind of sticky. I have tried the usual remedies like more cure time, drying longer, cleaner ipa etc.

I found this video on YouTube and it was so simple but works.

I just finished printing around 50 – 54mm LOTR miniatures for a customer of mine and they had that feel.

I took a large clear bowl and warm water .. well watch the video.

I stopped in to Dollar Store ($1.25 store now) and picked up 5 large glass cereal bowls. The sun was out so I filled them up with minis to cure and topped them off with water. Cured in about 10 minutes and no sticky :)
