Door Deckers | Painting Doors Laying Flat

What happens here

To prevent paint bridging and ensure clean removal of the Door Deckers, place a #6 washer between the Door Decker and the door before screwing it in. This creates a small separation. When securing the Door Deckers, use an impact drill to tighten the screws until the gap is completely closed and the tool is snug. This prevents play and wobbling, especially when stacking multiple doors high (up to 8-10 doors). Spraying doors 'down' (horizontally) allows for a thicker mil thickness and better coverage, potentially achieving a full color change in one coat. For hollow core doors, always stack them vertically after initial horizontal drying (at least a day) to prevent warping from moisture in the paint. The Door Deckers' bumper system can be used in hinge locations for vertical stacking, avoiding new holes.

Goal: Learn advanced techniques for attaching the Door Deckers, ensuring stability and preventing paint bridging, and understand optimal spraying and drying methods for different door types.

another um tip I want to uh give you when it comes to using Mr speed's door Deckers and that is using washers in between the door Decker and the door to keep a little Gap in separation between the door Decker and the door so you don't get bridging from the door to the door Decker itself if you can't if you get paint bridging when you go to pull this off it could um pull the paint off the door so you would definitely want to score it but if you just take a number six I bought number six um washers and number six washers are the perfect size that go along with the screws that come with the door Deckers just um take and put the washers on you don't put them on the screws first but you're going to put it through the door Decker put this the washer on and then then you're going to screw the door Decker on and that's going to give you just the right amount of Separation so you don't get any bridging from the door Decker to the door itself and that way you don't even have to worry about doing any type of scoring so definitely use a washer um have those washers you know with you anytime you're applying the door Deckers some of um the door Deckers you know I wasn't like consciously tighten them up very tight and um they did have kind of a little bit of play and rock in them and they would kind of just like rock back and forth and as you begin to stack the door Deckers up higher and higher the whole stack you kind of like would wobble back and forth just a little bit and that's because there was a little bit of play and the Deckers themselves were tight enough to the door now when applying the door Deckers I would recommend using an impact drill draw them in right um to where they get that Gap is completely closed and let it just um impact a couple times so they're tight and snug so when you stack them up cuz you can stack them you know up to 8 to 10 doors high and if you start to get them up high enough if there's a little bit of play there's going to be a lot more play at the top so eliminate play by um uh tightening up your door Deckers tight enough there are a lot of people that aren't comfortable spraying doors up youo CU you can get runs and sags really easily and spraying them down um some people have more confidence spraying them down now um whether you know you're good enough or not good enough to spray them you know up versus down um is kind of you know irrelevant spraying them down you can actually get more Mill thickness and if you're going from white to…
