XCR resin sanding problems

I'm using XCR coating resin since last year. And never had difficulties to sand it dry. If it was hardened for at least two days, dry sanding always went smooth. But I've experienced the opposite this Summer. When it was impossible to dry sand resin that was hardened for 4-5 days. It clogs sandpaper or Abranet immediately. Also noticed weaker adhesion properties of that resin, no matter that previous coat was sanded with 220 paper. I have suspicion that it has a lot to do with air humidity. But maybe there are some additives available that would help to avoid such problems ?

If you do so, please remember to provide us the weights of each component.
