Front door with dried glue like substance on it?

Alangers

Hi all.

Our front door has something that looks like dried glue on it. I can scrap it off with a paint scraper but it's hard to get into the narrow areas. Any idea what caused it? It is mainly on the rectangle areas rather than the whole door. Also can I paint a door like this? What type of paint would I need. Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers

Andrew

It might be lacquer or some outer plastic layer of the panel peeling? You can get paint especially for PVC doors, Ronseal do it.

Project is ongoing. Not easy when you have 3 kids wanting to help. This is the undercoat. Stupidly I didn't take a pic before I started 🙈

Removed them for the painting and then back on after.

No messing about with u 👍

That'll take another lash plus of primer/ under coat,.

In-between a light rub of a sanding pad

Finished it this morning.

@corks finest - one issue i am having is the door seal sticking to the paint on the door and coming off in places - Any solutions for this??? I tried cleaning the seals but its still happening. Was thinking of rubbing them with a little WD40!! Any thoughts

If painted over,you've no choice but to leave them dry completely,

Otherwise they'll keep dragging paint .

I reckon someone closed the door before it was dried properly.

Water based paint u used?

Should have no issues

corks finest

could give the seals a light rub of a sanding pad,let is know how u got on pls?

Hi @corks finest sand paper did not work unfortunately. Im going to get a thin seal to up over the current draught seal that is on the door already and see if that work.

U could rub a bit of Vaseline on the sealant
