Mehmet,
your problem is the combination of thickness combined with HDMS.

Potential Solution:
Have a list of the properties of the HDMS and find a compound that will not
insist to stick to the matter for a very long time, which means you have to
conduct experiments with various solutions under tightly controlled
environments.

All the best of luck to you, I hope that my observation was a little
insightful,
