Stopping freshly painted door from sticking to jamb

When painting an exterior door with latex, I always paint in the morning to give maximum time for it to dry before closing and locking the door at night. Inevitably, some paint will still stick to the jamb, lifting a bit of paint when it is opened in the morning. Is there a simple solution, other than not locking the door shut? i.e. is there something I can use as a barrier that won't discolor the paint and will prevent sticking?

Maybe wax the jamb/weatherstripping? Someday, it'll all be over....

FWIW, I use ordinary wax paper until it dries.

Remove the weatherstripping from the jamb until the paint is REALLY dry.

that sounds like a good idea, Vic. I'm sure there's got to be a roll of waxed paper in the kitchen. Thanks!

that might work, Tom. one time I put silicone on the w/strip (rubbber or vinyl) but the paint softened up where the silicone came in contact with it. I bet wax WOULD work. I'll give Vic's idea a try --waxed PAPER. thanks for your suggestion.

Baby powder on the w/stripping.

The waxed paper worked like a charm! This morning the door opened without that dreaded "stuck" feeling which has always translated to a lot of paint having been lifted from the edges. Thanks again to all those who provided a great suggestion!
