What does this mean? Why is anything sticky from a repadding?

If Paul's suggestion is right - that the B plays when both pinkies are used (one on the B lever and the other on the C), then it might explain why it's better when you play downward, since you have then just played C and are probably leaving that pinky down while you add the B key.

If you aren't comfortable trying to adjust this yourself, you might take it back to the shop that serviced it a month ago - if it's a crow's foot adjustment it's a quick job that should cost next to nothing (might do it gratis since he only recently worked on it), although leaving things sticky makes me wonder...
