Latex surfaces stick to each other for a long time. I rub paraffin or beeswax on all the edges and reapply periodically to make it easier to separate the boxes.
"Paint," the edges not with paint, but with Titebond II, they won't stick (after it's dried of course) and it protects the wood. Dries very quickly also..........
I've painted supers, stacked them wet in the pickup and drove them to a beeyard and set them on hives to dry.

Don't tell my bees what the Bee Taliban advises. It would just worry them unnecessarily.Yeah, i understand people do that but, here in NOVA, the Bee taliban advise against it....So many things I would try, so many other things I don't know enough about, like what transport proteins are in the hemolymph and how does the bee respiratory system exchange gases from the environment or how sensitive are bees to VOC in PPM or even PPB? Thanks

Do you intend to paint the inside of your boxes with some sort of volatile oil-based paint? I just use cheap latex and only paint the exterior.
