Tacky Primer
Question for the Experts.
I just did up a bunch of spooks. They are red cedar and they were sealed w/ the 60-40 mix. I let them sit for about 8-9 days after sealing them and they seemed fine. I then primed them w/ the Rustoleum Painters Touch primer. Half of them were fine and the other 1/2 remained tacky for days. They were all sealed at the same time in the same mix and allowed to dry the same amount of time, they were also sprayed w/ the same can of primer.
Any idea what could have caused this? And can they be salvaged? I had a couple of poppers in the mix that came out pissah and they have the same problem. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

i know you let them sit forever, but it sounds like the sealer isn't dry.

not tryin to a smart a$$, but if you place any oil soaked plug in the sun to dry, all it will do is draw any non-dry oil in the wood out to the surface making more of a mess.....they'll be little beads of gooie oil all over your primer......wipe the plug's down with wil=bond and let dry for however long it's take's,,then prime again.........I found rust..painter's touch primer acts funny, so it's not used anymore.

I agree with Capesams on the Painters Touch. I had more problems than it is worth.

I'm sealing with 60/40 Linseed Oil/Mineral Spirits.
CS What is Wilbond? What I did w/ a couple of them was to sand off the tacky primer and I'm letting them sit for a few more days and see if that helps.
If the Rustoleum is garbage what are you guys using to prime'em?
