So I painted my cab recently and used some gloss arcrlyic paint. I painted right over the laminate, and everything went pretty smooth. However, 5 days later it's still kind of tacky. Not like it comes off when you touch it, but it's not fully cured. Could this be due to heat/humidity? It's outside in the garage. Paint did peel off almost like plastic when I took the back door off. Should I seal it?? If so, is there a roll-on sealer that would work ok?? :dunno |

Did you use a coat of primer first? |

I had that happen on a project after rushing the second coat. Someone told me a few years earlier that if the first coat isn't fully dry, the second coat will be tacky and never dry properly. Never's a long time, so I sanded it back and started again. :-\ Wouldn't hurt to experiment with a sealer or whatever. |

It could very well be the humidity that is affecting the dry time. Encryptor |
