I primed some unpainted door casing and brick mold a couple of days
ago with Kilz Premium and the paint is still sticky. It was raining
while I was painting outside on the carport. I left the strips
outside in the sun yesterday afternoon, but it's still sticky. Is
there anything that will get it to dry or am I going to have to start
over? Thanks...

Is this a reading comprehension problem?

Time and lower humidity unless there was something on the surface???

That's the answer you'll get from paint stores - high humidity greatly
extends dry time. Especially true for rust preventive paints. I've
had them take up to 2 weeks to thoroughly dry in high humidity.
