I have had similar problems. The last step that you need to do is pirranha
clean (after acetone and ISO) and close couple it with a dehydration bake.
We do a bake at 200C and also the layer that the resist is adhering to could
be non-uniform or could have some pin holes, causing improper adhesion.
Hope this helps.
