Go wrong again with sticky stuff? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sticky stuff?' is the definition.
(sticky substance)

'go wrong again' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'wrong' could be 'sin' (wrong can mean a sin or crime) and 'sin' is located in the answer.
'again' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resin that I've seen before include "Sticky stuff oozing from trees" , "Unprocessed pine secretion" , "component of varnish" , "Cannabis, say" , "Fiddler's need" .)
