Repainting a door!

    Hi folks,

    We painted our front door with gloss paint and it has drips all over the place. We looked online and understand you have to scrape drips off and re sand the door before painting again.

    Only problem is the paint is still wet underneath even though it's touch dry. It's been two days.

    Do I have to wait until the paint is cured before redoing the door?

    Any tips would be much appreciated!

    Thank you!

    You're better off waiting until it has dried properly, otherwise when you go to sand you'll have a bit of a mess and might remove too much paint along with the paint turning into a gooey mess on your door.

    It's much easier to sand dry paint.
