Black Acrylic
Posted on Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 at 10:01 amWe painted a cabinet with flat black KRYLON Acrylic Latex Enamel two weeks ago.?
It is still too tacky to handle. We are in humid Central Florida so that is a factor but it appears that this paint is never going to kick. We brought the drawers indoors under air but they are still just as tacky. Any experts out there?
Some paints absorb moisture from the atmosphere and this causes the chemistry of the polymerization to change. Perhaps that is what has caused the slow setup of your paint. One very humid evening years ago I painted a truck with acrylic enamel automotive paint and it took 2 years for that to really set up. If it hadn't been my own truck I would have had to strip it and repaint it.
Did you use a primer compatible with the existing coating on the cabinets and also your paint? The wrong primer can cause all kinds of heartburn. Other possible causes could be an incompatible coating originally painted on the cabinets which has mixed with the acrylic paint to make a mess. Cooking oils can really screw up a paint job. Did you wash the cabinets thoroughly with TSP and thinner before painting?
You could have purchased a bad batch of paint from Krylon. I have used Krylon quick dry lacquer based paints for years with good results but recently I have had trouble with being able to apply a second coat without it lifting the first. I think they have changed the chemistry.
There is a customer service number on the can if I'm not mistaken and sometimes a call to them actually ends up helping.
Unfortunately, sometimes with paint jobs, if the coating you apply does not do what it is supposed to do, all you can do then, is clean it all off and start over with a paint product which you know works, applied on a properly prepared surface.
Every painter knows that 90% of the paint job is preparation of the surface for the paint. Applying the paint is the easy part. The importance of preparation is the part they leave out of the instructions.
Hope some of this is useful to you.
