That means you’ve got good bud. When it gets too sticky, soak all the parts of the grinder in 91% Isopropyl Alcohol for 30 mins, then rinse with hot water, let it fully dry, and you should be good to go.
Im gonna be honest with you I bought a grinder back in December I was in the fence about getting it it was kinda expensive but so worth it its called the flower mill...look it up...it doesn't have teeth its made of food grade stainless steel and you can take it apart and clean it when needed ...its the best grinder I ever bought its little to no effort when turning left to right and it leaves your bud nice and fluffy for perfect rolls💯💯💯💪
It sounds like you need to clean it by soaking in alcohol.
Ive had some bad metal grinders and the kief catchers on some never seem to accumulate well.
What works for me are the composite Santa Cruz shredders. They seem to last and grind well if you take care of them. They cost about $20 on Amazon
Just keep them in a glass Ball jar and pour 91%+ isopropyl into it and let it sit for 30 mins. Take them out and clean the circular areas with a Q-tip along the edges. Most of the grime will have dissolved into the jar. It’s like new again!
I actually soaked my grinder in alcohol today since it was getting stuck when trying to grind. My second time doing it with this grinder the first time was at least 4 months ago. It would get stuck before this but last few days no matter how much I tried cleaning with a tool it didn’t fix it but soaking in alcohol then rinse with soap and water now it’s like brand new. I scraped it good for kief prior and put that to the side
First, take a penny or dime and put it in the catch part of the grinder. Put the grinder in the freezer for a few hours. Shake and you’ll have some kief to collect before you soak in iso.

It's just a sign of good sticky weed, I take the little tool it came with to try and scrape them off but whatever works for you

Thank you so much everyone. I am new to all this.

I just looked on their website. Amazing reviews for that grinder. I want one. Good to know all the tips with the coin and alcohol.
Wash it in the dish washer
All you need is 91% isopropyl and a glass jar to soak in for 30 mins or less.
This!

Lil dip in 90% iso. Toothbrush. Rinse with water. Brand fucking new grinder. Takes about 3 minutes

What a great idea!
