I have painted the interior of my metal doors with oil based stain and it is not drying. The vinyl strip in between the doors is staying even more tacky. How can I get it to dry or remove it?

KYRealEstateGuy asked:


I am painting some interior 6 panel doors. I know that I will paint them white, but what level of sheen is normal for interior doors (flat, satin, semi gloss)?
The rest of the trim is painted in a high-gloss white.
