Avoiding Warping with Vertical Stacking

Door Deckers | Painting Doors Laying Flat
What happens here
It's crucial to understand that hollow-core doors can warp if stacked horizontally for any significant period, especially when wet with heavy coats of paint. The moisture from the paint can cause the door material to sag and warp over time. To prevent this, after the paint has dried to the touch, or ideally the same day, transition the doors from horizontal stacking to vertical stacking. Mr. Speed's Door Deckers facilitate this by utilizing the existing hinge holes for their bumpers, allowing doors to be stacked vertically without creating new holes. This ensures the doors maintain their shape and integrity during the drying process.
Goal: This critical tip warns against stacking hollow-core doors horizontally for extended periods due to warping risks, especially when wet with paint. It recommends vertical stacking using Door Deckers for proper drying and structural integrity.
