When does the stickiness stop..?

[Mystery_of_GodST]

If you had a ball of a sticky substance , and u rolled it over the earth , eventually the ball will reduce as it rolls while parts of it are sticking on the earth as it rolls

 

but as every peice sticks ,

 

when does the substance stop existing

 

because if u moved the last molecule of stickiness on something else it will keep sticking and so on

 

hard to explain hope u guys figure it out

Surely when you see your ball of sticky stuff "disappear" it still exists as a very long very thin track on the earth ? Perhaps I don't understand the question.
