[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 4574075, member: 554493"] Okay guys, I'm at a complete loss here. This is the third time this has happened, so I'm completely confused. For my past three projects, none of my finishes have cured fully at all. My lacquer rear channels have been done for 3 weeks and still get indented by thumb nails, my sealed HT sub has been done for 10 days (lacquer) and still is quite tacky (sticks to the floor), and my newest enamel ported HT sub hasn't cured fully either after 7 days of drying on 3 panels. This is the interesting thing though: I haven't the faintest idea what the problem is. The biggest bit of info is that when I painted my rear channels, I did rustoleum auto primer, rustoleum pro flat black and then valspar clear lacquer. When I did the sealed sub, same primer, but rustoleum black lacquer. for the HT sub, same primer, and then rustoleum pro gloss black. The flat black paint on the rear channels cured perfectly within hours TOPS. The same paint, on the same wood, with the same preparation with the same primer with the only difference being that it's gloss hasn't cured after over a week. The **** is the problem here? Humidity is stable at 50% in the garage, and it doesn't get about 82 in there either. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
