How To Resolve Paint Spits & Runs
What happens here
Once paint spits or runs have dried (typically within 12 to 24 hours), they can be removed without the need for sanding or Bondo. The painter recommends using denatured alcohol or, more specifically, 'Tru-Swipe Swabs' for this task. He demonstrates the effectiveness of a Tru-Swipe swab by rubbing it over dried paint imperfections on a surface. The swab works by dissolving and lifting the dried paint, leaving the underlying finish smooth and ready for a potential re-coat if necessary, without leaving visible evidence of the previous imperfection.
Goal: Effectively remove dried paint imperfections like spits and runs using denatured alcohol or specialized Tru-Swipe Swabs, avoiding the need for sanding or extensive rework.
