Hi! I hope someone can help with this problem. About 4 months ago I did some touch up painting on our baseboards, doors and wood trim around the doors, using a Sherwin Williams latex paint. The problem is....some areas of the wood trim feel "sticky" or "tacky". I have never had this happen before, it's driving me nuts! Is there anything I can use to remove the stickiness? I tried wiping it with some different household cleaners, they didn't help. What is the best way to solve this "tacky" situation? Thanks in advance, for any help or suggestions

Welcome to the forums!

What line of SWP did you use? Have you asked about this at SWP?

Sometimes a contamiment on the surface can affect the paint that's applied.
