Crazy, a little stupid, and it worked! I think the drywall compound will even be okay; it sucked up the oil-based primer like a camel in the desert, which is good because once that primer hardens (and it hardens like rock), the front of my door will be more resistant to potential dings. Another coat of primer, and then I’ll paint them with two coats of latex, and then acrylic clear coat. Then, I get to use the board that I bought for new doors to make a shelf instead–it’s win-win!

I also primed the Cove moulding for my bathroom. It ain’t pretty, but it’s done, ready to paint.

So much for my non-plastic room! 🙂
