I am one of those who use 505 and have left it in for a couple of years before getting around to quilting the quilt and I could reposition it with no problem. I do use a sheet under the quilt and try to do it outside when it is dry. I tried Sullivans and June Tailor and did not like either of them so I stick with 505.

I used to use spray before I discovered Misty Fuse. It's a gossamer like material. I cut it into squares and place randomly on the batting , lay the fabric on top and press. Then I turn the quilt over and do the same with the back.
It adds no bulk or stiffness to the quilt and holds beautifully. I got mine on Amazon. I think Marti Mitchel carries a similar product

It does sound like the one that is not sticking should be returned to where you bought it. I do use a spray for my embroidery that does dissipate after 20 - 30 minutes, it is made by Sulky and since I had a very bad experience with Sullivan's turning the white fabric yellow that did NOT wash out - I hesitate to try using it again. I liked 505 but it cot twice of everything else and didn't see that it worked any better than Dritz or June Tailor's.

I, too, only use 505......the time saved is more than worth the cost to me!

I saw the results of a study of the different sprays, maybe 10 years ago or more, quilt sandwiches were sprayed & artificially aged, plus other tests. Some of the sprays caused yellowing & fabric damage, 505 came out as the winner & safe for the quilt. A google search could probably find the study.
