We have an aquarium stand that we have used for the past 3 years... we recently moved and had to repaint it because while the stand was in storage, we had boxes on it and the cardboard stuck to the paint. We had to sand down the parts that had cardboard stuck to it, and we repainted it with some black semi gloss water resistant paint.
Our problem is that anything we put on top of this thing (literally) will stick to it and when you pull it off it pulls off paint. For example, if you lay a book on top of it, it will immediately stick almost like its got tape on it and you have to peel it off.
We have semi gloss on walls and it never does this ****. Does anyone have any recommendation on what we can do? Should we sand the top down and repaint it with flat or eggshell black and then put spar varnish on it to waterproof it? It seems like with spar varnish it would still be sticky. We need it to be water resistant somehow but even if we put a table runner over it it sticks to the **** thing like its glued.
HELP. we are leaving to go out of town tomorrow and when we come back we are swinging by to pick up our 55 gallon and need it painted so that it doesn't do this TONIGHT.
