That's awesome @flyingv
Nice seat, too!
I think flats should feel smooth and not sticky, but not knowing what brand they are I can’t say for sure.

La Bella Low Tension Flats are the worst for it.
I use EB Group vi flats on most of mine - they are brighter than most flats but don't have the excessive top end of rounds.
They lose their grippy-ness in about 10 mins of playing. I love them!

You can help it along a bit by rubbing up and down the strings with something cotton. Old T-shirt will do. That's just abrasive enough to clean it up but without damaging the string.
Or you could go nuts and do the chicken grease / hand cream / engine oil approach that some of the old Motown guys did to make new strings sound like old ones!
