drips and runs before they set. If the door was laid flat, it would
probably work nicely.



This is the reason I use only alkyd semi-gloss for doors and trim. Bath
and kitchen walls and
ceilings as well. The blotchiness of your finish could be a result of
not mixing the paint
sufficiently immediately prior to each use. If you did some patching or
filling without priming it
could also cause blotches.


Thanks for the advice.
