When I was doing a musuem internship a few years ago, we had a problem with
B-72 as well... except we found out the clear formula we got was almost
completely acetone-- must have been at the top of the batch or something.
After a few calls to UP, we decided to let the B-72 air out for an hour or
so by a window to let some of the acetone evaporate. Worked like a charm the
rest of that summer.

This may sound silly, but let UP know if you are having problems with any of
the acryloid. If more than one person is having problems, they might change
the formula or the bottle design so it works more efficently. Otherwise, I
would use a little acetone or nail polish right around the rim so unstick
the "sticky" situation.
