Paint won't dry. What did I do wrong?

Any chance that it is really humid where you are?

Yes, it is humid.  I live on the MS Gulf Coast.  However, the air conditioning system we have in the house has a dehumidifyer and it is set for 40% humidity.

I don't think it's the humidity. 

Vinyl doesn't play well with enamel, and I imagine what might be happening is that the Floquil primer didn't provide a sufficient barrier to keep them apart. 

I seem to remember having a problem similar to this a long time ago. Alas, I don't remember the details...

I agree.  We have had a spat of high dewpoint here, and my enamels take a long time to dry, but they eventually do.  Enamel on vinyl, however, never really dries.  Figure painters in this area use oil paints on vinyl.  Don't understand the difference- they use the same type of thinner as enamels, but it seems to work.

Thanks for the info.  I will have to try oils/
