I painted a birch plywood desk work surface with latex CIL SMART3 WASH &
WEAR Kitchen & Bath paint http://www.cil.ca/en/brands_smart.html (at the suggestion of the HD paint guy) as he said it would give a durable washable finish. The surface was first lightly sanded and primed with Kilz2 and then two coats of black latex. The issue I am having is that the paint surface seems to remain tacky/sticky when items are placed on it then moved later. The surface is dry to the touch but items do stick after a few minutes. From reading I understand this may be an issue with latex paints and known as blocking. It has only been 3 days since the final coat was put on so perhaps it is just an issue of waiting longer for drying? Is there anything I can do to get rid of or reduce this beyond repainting? Will it go away after a week or so or will it remain for the live of the paint? What about waxing or using talcum? Since the is a semigloss black finish I wonder if talcum would cause a mess. For wax what would be the bets to use? Any other suggestions? |
