Door Deckers | Painting Doors Laying Flat

What happens here

For optimal drying of water-based paints, especially when painting heavy coats, sufficient airflow is crucial. Water-based paints contain chemicals and water that must evaporate, and without proper ventilation, doors can remain wet for extended periods. Door Deckers are designed to provide enough gap between stacked doors, even when stacked horizontally, allowing for adequate air circulation and quick drying. This system enables doors to dry much faster, with a heavy black coat on white drying in approximately 45 minutes, allowing for efficient down-stacking.

Goal: This step explains the importance of adequate airflow for drying water-based paints on doors and highlights how Door Deckers facilitate proper ventilation by allowing horizontal stacking. It also discusses the fast drying times achieved with this system.

then one the stack once they dried you know on our saw horses where we stacked them we um we down stacked them on the rubber bumpers now one of the things um that I did notice about um the door Deckers and I and I used some other um door Spraying Systems in the past that um stack doors horizontally and once again if I'm if I'm spraying like really dark colors or light colors it is um really nice and convenient to use um a horizontal system because it's just one coat and done you spray it on heavy on one side flip it heav another side flip it and you're done you don't have to do any fog coats but some door sprain systems they stack and there's not enough um Gap in between the um the you know the the system itself to get enough flow and ventilation for the doors to dry in a reasonable amount of time now if you don't have enough um Gap in between the doors you what happens is the chemicals in um waterbased paints water B paints have chem chemicals it has water that has to dry and evaporate if there's not enough flow air flow you know in that system it's just like the paint and the can like there's a lid on it it can't dry and we've um actually done doors with you know um systems in the past in the winter in a garage where it was you kind of cool inside the garage the next day the doors were still wet so you have to use some type of forc ventilation even with Mr speeds if you want them to drive faster use air but the draw back to using air you could push any type of um contaminants it could be um dust the fan could pick up dust um dust could fall out of the air you could be blowing it through the doors so we don't like to force dry our doors if we don't have to the one of the benefits to Mr speeds is um from the first use testing them out I'm putting on a heavy black on a white they dried probably I think about 45 minutes the doors were dry and they were able to down stack so they definitely have enough Gap to have you know ventilation and air flow flowing through them another um tip I want to uh give you
