Why is the paint still tacky?

I bought a second hand chest of draws and sanded it down then painted it. I painted it outside and we do have a lot of humidity here in Oklahoma, but I brought it in yesterday and the paint is still tacky, why? I painted it 3 days ago. Any tips on what I should do.

    When its humid paint takes a lot longer to dry you need to heat it up more and find a dry spot for it to cure out. If it still feels like rubber try putting on some shellac you just need a little more hardener
