Well, you've gotten a lot of good suggestions. If you're in a hurry, though, I would get a razor blade and remove the gummy runs so the remainder will dry faster, then sand to get the smooth finish. Any time you paint, you have to continuously go back and reinspect the work you have just done, and catch the runs before they start to set. You will find the results much more satisfactory if you do your quality control before the paint dries. If you do that, your repairs will be flawless!Runs form using gloss paint?
the paint is to runny. you probably put to much on brush. less is defiantly more lots of thin coats rather than one thick coat. if it is old paint on banister. then you really should strip back to wood. but if the runs are from your work then a power mouse sander should do. with various grades of paper..
first of all, you will need to wait for the runs to dry - depending on the thickness of the runs, it will take ages and ages for the run to dry and harden enough to sand down without clogging the paper
4 thin coats are far better than 2 thick!
Sand it back again, only this time when you paint , go back an hour later and touch in again where the runs start...
Its a common problem on spindles....Dont put too much on this time either...
I agree with everyone above...also, make sure you are using the right applicators. (should say on the back of the can)
Why didn't you catch the runs while you were painting?
Anyway, yes, sand just the runs off and repaint. Be careful this time.
~*~-You will have to sand them off and repaint the areas you sand. Next time use very thin coats instead of thick coats to avoid runs.
Horrible job sanding gloss paint, try non drip gloss next time, not completely non drip, but much easier to handle.
