Default Latex Paint - Tacky/Sticky finish days after painting - Solutions?


Thanks. The temp was around 68-70F, was painted in my basement
which is very dry and humidity is fairly low. I also ran the
dehumidifier on full the days they were painted and the day after
as well. Perhaps I should just keep it running full in the room
with the painted surface.

From what I can see about the paint it is suppose to be good
quality and fairly durable, it may just be that it needs more
drying time is all at this point. I have a few things on it now
(LCD monitor, keyboard, mouse, lamp) as I need to use the surface
but will try and keep most of it clear as long as possible.
Nothing is sticking yet to the point it is removing paint, it just
seems very tacky when anything is moved and I don't want to mark it
up if I can avoid it.


Set your things on waxed paper.

Thanks, good idea with the wax paper. Would applying the wax as a short
terms solution cause any potential issues do you think?
