What's the weather? You want to make meringues on a day with low humidity.

You need to leave them in the oven until they are crisp, no matter how long
it takes. If they are thick, it will take a long time, perhaps all night.
If the weather is damp, they will go sticky AFTER you remove them from the
oven if you don't store them right.
