I just installed a solid flush 30" service door on my garage,it needs to be
primed,now it's been raining for 2 days,the bottom 1/4 is damp,can I still
paint it,try to dry it out with a hair drier,or just wait until the sun
dries it out.Just worried that it might ruin the door.Thanks

Wait. However, if the "solid flush door" is a normal passage door the
"solid" part is most likely particle board and it will be junk in short
order painted or not. Steel or fiberglass would be a better choice.

yeah ,the solid part is partical board,but because it not a standard size
door i just bought a slab and cut it to size,height 74",a special order
steel door or fiberglass door would cost 700-1000 $,this cost me
$100,anyways it will last me my lifetime,72 yrs old.

pacca,
Do you need this door? Can you take it down for a few days? If so put it
in the garage and let it dry out. Then see if it's ok. I suspect that
particle board was not a good choice and would recommend that you cover the
exterior with something more substantial than paint.

yeah I can do that,what do you mean by something more substantial,the
exterior has a veneer of Douglas fir.
