I used to use TPM but changed to propylene carbonate. What a difference,
for the better.
After I rinse with propylene carbonate and then rinse in tank of water,
I'll remove all structure and then lightly wet sand (in fresh sink water)
the supported surfaces to remove most, if not all, of that jelly, tacky
stuff you're talking about. Blow air to dry the part and then final rinse
them in the alcohol. I also use a horse-hair brush to help remove trapped
resin in the tigher areas. Parts come out excellent after the PCA. Hope
this helps.

How about doing all cleaning with alcohol (isopropanol) only? I had
best experience with laying fresh parts into isopropanol for 5 to 10
minutes, then brushing them under a small flow of fresh solvent.
You can distill isopropanol to get it back into a fully clean state,
no need to dispose any solvent. The remains of the distillation are
UV-cureable.
