Sticky paint

(1/3) > >>

reptileink:
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

RayB:
Did you use a coat of primer first?

no, I didn't.....

DrFrag:
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.
