jute products-Removing paint from weather stripping?
Two days ago I had a painter come in and do some painting of the exterior of my home, including painting my front door white (previously painted a rust color). Unfortunately, in addition to painting the door he also painted the "weather stripping" material around the perimeter of the door frame, where the door contacts the frame. Because he painted both surfaces, they now stick together whenever we close the door, even though we provided ample dry time before closing. Additionally, when we forcibly pull the door open, the paint gets pulled off of the door in the areas of contact, revealing the rust-colored paint beneath and generally looking awful. The paint also pulls off the weather stripping and sticks to the door.
