Paint still 'tacky' ?

Might contact Dulux just to inform them of the problem. At the moment it seems the doors are almost dry -it's just the surrounds now.
It's a bit of a pain if its going take an age as the larder cupboard which is next on the list is used on a regular daily basis and I was hoping to get it paint in the morning and be able to use it by tea time.
Never had this problem before.

Just to update on the paint..............had e mail from dulux today and they say the warm weather would make the paint take longer to dry............
It's almost dry now.....:T

Mary, Dulux Satinwood is an oil based product. When it was launched many moons ago it was meant to be a replacement for Eggshell, because that was being withdrawn within a few years from the retail sector (I think true Eggshell might now be banned from trade as well???)

The satin finish on the Dulux emulsion range was known as "Soft Sheen".
Full of useless stuff me,LOL

I did wonder about the heat, but I couldn't remeber whioch way round it affected it, though on reflfection it's the opposite of emulsions and I should have known that. Doh!
