They do. I'm not seeing many this year. Besides,  just a small coating does the trick.

Sometimes beeks have to be like Edison and experiment.  Glad you did the work for us  :-D
Seriously though, it's good to know that even enamel sticks.

I personally paint the mating surfaces simply because I want to prevent rotting there. I solved the sticking problem by letting the paint dry for a few days then rubbing the mating surfaces with a block of beeswax. No more sticking.

I could have written the above - word for word - 'cause that's exactly what I do. I find that when using oil-based or even polyurethane (fast drying) paints, if pressed together for any length of time within the first few months of having painting them, they still have a tendency to stick - often with one surface 'lifting-off' paint from the other.  A rub over with beeswax is the cure.
