Hey all,
I have primed my front door with water based undercoat. Though need to use an satin oil base paint for the top coat. I have taken the door off along with all the attachments so it is just the wooden door.
My concern with painting with the oil based paint is drying time. I have not used oil based paint before though I know they take a long time to dry. I plan to paint the door in the morning say around 10:00, though I need to put the door back up in the late afternoon around 5 or 6pm and worried the paint will be still tacky, hence when the door closes and touches the door frame it might stick to it and ruin the finish.
Any tips on making the paint dry quicker (hairdryer?) or any other advice on this? cheers
