 Sticky Leather pads

Is this characteristic of NEW leather pads? I'm playing on a bass calrinet that was refurbished and was redone with leather pads. Two of the lether pads are sticking (low F and the pad which closes to produce the low G). They stick and when I lift my fingers to try to play a note above them it causes problems.

I searched and found pulling a dollar bill through in order to remove "crud" on the pad, but there isn't any "crud" on the pad and it seems like it is just too soft.

So is it characteristic of new pads and it'll wear itself in or is there something I should/could do about it?
