It depends on the species. Most ord-weavers though don't use sticky webbing. It'll adhere to a surface and dry quickly, but the insect will become entangled because it blunders into the net as opposed to the spider carefully climbing through it. The spider then has to wrap a fresh cocoon before its meal escapes.
