I primed some unpainted door casing and brick mold a couple of days ago with Kilz Premium and the paint is still sticky. It was raining while I was painting outside on the carport. I left the strips outside in the sun yesterday afternoon, but it's still sticky. Is there anything that will get it to dry or am I going to have to start over? Thanks...
i think id wait,maybe set it in the sun if possible.
Time and lower humidity unless there was something on the surface???
A) There is something wrong with your primer. Test it on a clean piece of new wood. B) There is something awry with your painted parts. Toss them if if A) turns out OK. Odds are the primer is a latex that is way over the hill or contaminated. Try an oil base...they're less prone to problems. Good luck.

That's the answer you'll get from paint stores - high humidity greatly extends dry time. Especially true for rust preventive paints. I've had them take up to 2 weeks to thoroughly dry in high humidity.

The primer was latex and it was what was left of a can that had been sitting around for almost a year. I debated getting a new can, but to speed things up, ended up using this. Thanks...
Is this a reading comprehension problem?

Had it ever frozen?

Did you Mix the paint? I gave someone some good quick drying primer they didnt mix it and it didnt dry after 3 days either

He has had 11 years, I hope the paint is dry by now......
