Default How much can a wooden door swell?

Wood doors can swell quite a bit with high humidity.

The *secret* of professional painters to prevent this is to paint the
top and bottom of the door. So when it gets back down to size, take it
off the hinges and paint the top/bottom.



Here's a secret for the secret of professional painters. Use PRIMER on door
tops. That's what primer is for. Sealing and adhesion. In this case the
sealing of it is what's needed. Paint afterwards if desired.
