Our stage deck is the usual 1/4 masonite, or something very close, and we've settled, over the 8 years I've been here, on Behr Premium Plus Exterior Base 4300, which we paint-over every year or two, depending on how bad it gets bunged up. We usually manage to schedule it so it gets an entire week dark to harden before we even walk on it, and heretofore, that's worked out pretty well for us.
Earlier this year, though, our drama department painted it to look like a beach, for the Zombie musical of the same name... and when we painted over *that*, it's just not been sticking at all well. We roll our D grand out and it leaves tracks; where we park it it leaves a dent in the paint. It's not clear (to us, cause we're not paint people) what the proper solution to this is, and whether it involves a floor-belt sander, and whether we should pay a pro to deal with that before we repaint in black.
I'm sure other people have dealt with this; what did you do, and did it get you back to stable, where you'd been?
We're back into our active season, so whatever we do probably won't happen til Thanksgiving week, or maybe as late as Christmas week...
