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.

I found paint strips off rubber fairly easily with warm water , a bit
of dishwashing soap, and a plastic scrubbing pad.

Good tip. The door will probably stick until the paint cures - if
possible, leave open until then. Grease might make it gummy.
