Recently did a test print with Creality Pla-wood. The smell during the print is amazing, I’m kind of hooked. I printed something flat, was easy to sand and stain looks incredible, 100% looks like wood. It’s been 48h and no matter how much I wipe the thing it’s still tacky / leaves a little residue on my hands. Do I just need to wait longer? Is this normal? Is it OK to clearcoat before absolutely bone dry / residue free?

What about sanding more complex structures? Do I need to get a sand blaster for this? Is there a dremel brush I could use?

    I found this Reddit post after a Google search.

    I think you went too much on the stain from the get go. I’m finding I have to be patient between coats on all my PLA prints.
