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.
