ADD PG 3% AND GLYCERINE ABOUT 2%

Are you sure you added the right amount of TEA? Did you check pH? If not, this would explain why certain batches work and others don’t.I’d guess that adding 5% polyols as proposed by @UsmanAli will render it a fair bit more sticky compared to 2% PEG 400. -
What Pharma said: doesn’t appear to be enough TEA in there to neutralize that acrylate. To reduce tack, add ZERO glycerine but 3% propylene glycol will help. PEG-10 dimethicone will help better. On the other hand, if you have access to 3V Sigma products, why not just use RapidGel EZ-1? You may then eliminate the TEA, the PEG-400 and the glycerin. That is the best alcohol gellant in the world today.
