How long for gloss to dry?

Came to do my front door today and glossed over it, I left it open for 2 hours before I had to go out, came back in and its still sticky another 3 hours later.

Not wet just a little sticky.

Oil based paint or water based. Oil based stuff can be up to 16 hours to dry - water based would normally be about 4 hours but as its cold, you'd need to allow longer.

I really don't know they never said, its been almost 6 hours though.

I dont want my door open too long you see, its freezing and I have junkies upstairs so its a risk.

Green and blue are usually water based, the rest usually oil based. Should be on the back of the tin.

Cold, damp weather will be prolonging your drying times.

It's not really been outdoor painting weather, It'll take a while . .
