What happens here

Maintain a consistent upward brushing motion when painting the vertical paneling to prevent runs. If a run or drip does occur, do not attempt to brush it out once the paint has started to dry or coagulate, as this will only worsen the mark. Instead, wait for the paint to fully dry and then lightly sand the imperfection away. For minor runs or marks in areas that might be less visible, rubbing with denatured alcohol can sometimes effectively remove them without sanding. Always move quickly during application; if applying with a roller first, you can spread it with the brush immediately after.

Goal: Minimize and correct paint runs for a smooth finish.

Instead of pushing it down, right here where you have to push it down to get it underneath, that's where you're most likely to have a run. So you want to check that, you'll be back. Before it starts to dry. If you start having a run, you know? Brush it. They start to dry there. So one of the secrets to removing runs without sanding is simply to use denatured alcohol. So once this first coat dries,
