Hi,

I'd just wait til the door has dryed out as much as it will, fill the
cracks with paint using some small artists brushes then paint it
again.

A paint that's claims to be (relatively!) flexible and resists
cracking would be best.


You can add flexing agents into paint but I don't think this is the cure
for expanding wood.


While expansion/contraction is, I think, bound to be involved, I think the
biggest problem in our case is movement of the different parts of the door
relative to each other. The paint, btw, is Buckingham Green from
International.
