I would use a little alcohol on a cotton swab followed by a good oiling when you’ve got the gunk gone.

I use 505 and had the same problem the first couple of times I used it. Here are A couple of things that solved the sticky gunk problem, for me:

1. using a very light hand with the spray baste- I still pin my spray basted pieces in a few places- I don’t use enough spray baste to completely take the place of pinning- But it allows me to get away with using fewer pins- maybe every 12 inches I’ll put in a pin instead of every 3 or 4.

2. Let your quilt sit for at least 24 hours after spray basting to give the adhesive time to set up- that’s what completely solved the problem for me.
