I prevent the sticky hoops. I hoop my fabric, then I use a metal can both ends cut out placed inside the hoop, then spray inside with 505.
Or, cut a piece of HEAVY pellon to fit the inside staple ends togeather and stand on end of the hoop and spray with 505.
Also, I cut the top off of a large cardboard box and set it at an angle so I can spray inside with the can upright.

Rubbing alcohol will dry them out I've heard.. I've heard some put them in the dishwasher, no drying though. I've also heard some have used shaving cream..
I use goo gone, works like a charm..
