I finally understood the value of a proper tack rag after watching a painter in Tulsa
He spent 15 minutes wiping down a door skin before base coat, saying 'dust is free, but time isn't.' Has anyone found a better method for final wipe-downs?

Fifteen minutes on just one door skin? That's a level of patience I've never seen on a job site. I'd be worried the paint would start drying before I even opened the can.

I used to worry about that too until I started using a slow-evaporating reducer. It buys you a solid 45-minute open time in moderate weather. The key is keeping your spray area cool and out of direct sun while you work.
