I painted my garage door and got all kinds of paint on the outdoor
weather striping. Now the door sticks to the rubber weather stripping
because it has latex paint on it.
I've tried wd40 and vaseline and nothing makes the door not stick to
the weather stripping.

Any other ideas or am I stuck replacing the weather stripping?
Thanks.



Try what mark said (soap & water) on a small area. If it doesn't work easily
enough, go to the supermarket or hardware store and get a bottle of
Goo-Gone. Begin with that, which loosens almost any kind of paint, but in my
experience does NOT harm rubber. Then, follow with soap & water. While
you're at the hardware store, check the price of new weather stripping, in
case you get disgusted with all the other ideas.

And next time, let the paint dry longer. If the paint can says it dries to
the touch in 4 hours and "completely cures" in 24 hours (I'm using random
numbers here), never EVER believe that information. What they mean is 24
hours to touch, 4 days to cure completely.
