What happens here

For larger or very thick paint runs or drips, start by using a carbide scraper. Carefully and lightly scrape the top layer of the hardened paint run to remove the bulk of the material. Once the majority of the run is scraped down, take a True Swipe swab. Apply the swab to the remaining ridges and marks, gently rubbing to melt and feather out the paint, creating a smooth transition that is ready for subsequent paint layers. This two-step process saves significant time compared to traditional methods for stubborn runs.

Goal: Tackle large paint runs/drips efficiently using a scraper and True Swipe

so now we got these john there's some of these spits are really really large and we do have this scraper we've talked about this linbite scraper and it's a carbide scrape scraper extremely extremely sharp and we've used this in in combination with the two swipes to get rid of runs and uh you know um say a drip or a run like that that's extremely large won't we just scrape that down with this and then use the true swipe we can and it's amazing because when i first saw these things i didn't think it would actually work but on fine tram interior trim you actually you'll you'll just pull on the scraper and it'll just start shaving the tops of those bumps and runs down so we got the this is a really fresh door it's only been done about an hour ago you probably if you're using the scraper you'd probably want to wait a little bit longer so it gets a little bit harder but we're going to test it out right here live on camera and see if it'll work on this um these large runs right here so let's check that out john this guy right here [Music] see it's it's gonna pull that guy up and now we'll take a swab and melt it down so basically you kind of just scraped off the bulk of it so you don't have to do as much rubbing yeah the swab and it's not ideal you'll still have to you know you got to work it around to start feathering that down so that it's smooth because you've kind of created a crater because of how deep it is you know to me if this door you know if it was outside had hardened up maybe another two three hours that scraper probably would have shaved it a little bit more than pulling it off but sometimes you're on a time limit and that's not going to be the case so clean it up here and it looks pretty good look pretty good right here when it's all done
