Made some wall hangings recently and painted them. I read Jeff Jewitt's "Spray Finishing Made Simple" as I prepare to purchase a spray system soon, but for this project I painted using a brush.
Jewitt's Book referenced using latex paint with "100% Acrylic Resin" (and not any vinyl in paint) to prevent the paint "blocking" (object's like books, vases, etc. sticking to dried paint)
So after a few weeks of project sitting after paint, when I go to move it, I can hear it pop as it sticks to counter (nothing else sticks to counter top, so I know it's the painting I did) I've put a few small items on the wall hanging, and they also stick and pop when I move them.
So, trying to figure out where I went wrong. Did I apply too thick a coat of paint with brush / roller? Did I not let them dry enough between coats (painted primer day 1, then paint day 2, then next coat day 3.) Is it because I used brushes/rollers and didn't use a sprayer? Avoiding oil based paints because of odor and another person in house very sensitive to smells, so those can be an issue since my current area to paint is inside.
Painted indoors, in climate controlled room in house that is usually around 72 degrees.
Any advice on how to avoid. I have about 20 more to paint so need to figure out how to avoid the blocking issue.
