Paint still sticky after weeks

Pages: (1/5) > >>

KungFuJoe:

I'm using a semi-gloss acrylic latex enamel (black).  It's been about 2 weeks since I applied my last coat (used 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of paint) and to this day, if you leave your hand on one of the sides of the cabinet, applly slight pressure, and release, it feels slightly sticky. 

whammoed:

Doesn't sound too unusual.  I have painted furniture before and it literally takes weeks and weeks for the paint to fully cure.

KungFuJoe:

*whew* 

I was afraid something was wrong with my paint (wasn't cheap paint) or my environment.

GameOver:

Yeah - especially if the cab is in the garage or outside, and it's been humid where you live.

RayB:

humidity........
