Wood Painted
What is fastest drying on-wood paint or primer?
In an effort to reduce friction at the base of a sliding pocket door (where the plastic guide touches) I’ve made it worse by sanding down the existing paint to bare wood. Now I’d like to reapply a low friction paint that will minimize seizing.. Problem is, to paint the inside I’ll have to remain inside while it sets. I’d rather not get into removing the door. Is there a glossy paint that will dry in a half hour or less so I don’t find myself hermetically sealed in.
doug are you talking about the bottom edge of the door that needs to be painted or the bottom of the face of the door? the plastic guides that you are referring to should not be that tight to the door. they are only meant to stop the door from moving out at the bottom. there are a couple of things that you can try if it is on the bottom edge and you just want to seal the wood. try a couple of coats of shellac it dries quickly and seals very well or you can try a couple of coats of wax. if it is the bottom face of the door then adjust your guides so they do not touch as you slide the door open or closed. contrary to some of the other advice paint does not take weeks to cure. paints now a days have driers in them that makes them set up and cure very quickly. also 2 component epoxy paints are not meant to be used in a home. the fumes are very volatile.
