How do I remove paint from the baseboards that dripped under the painters tape?

I just painted a room yesterday (indoors) and after removing the painters tape from the baseboards, there are tons of areas where the paint dripped under the tape. I would just paint over it with the white baseboard paint, but it will be all lumpy/bumpy looking. Am I supposed to sand it away or what? This is going to be a lot of work! Why didn't the painters tape work?!!?How do I remove paint from the baseboards that dripped under the painters tape?
Try some stuff called ';Goof-Off'; it should work. As to why, you didn't have the tape pressed into placed good enough.





If the Goof-Off doesn't work then hate to say it but yes get out the sandpaper. Or you may try paint thinner since you would have to repaint anyways.How do I remove paint from the baseboards that dripped under the painters tape?
when you put the tape on press it down really well.... then apply a clear coat to seal any place where paint might seep under the tape. Then paint over the clear coat. When tape is removed.... prior to the paint drying you will have a nice straight edge.
Well it's man made. And why don't you try a paint scraper? But use it gently!
Yes sand it down and then repaint your baseboards. Yes its a lot of work, but if you use a paint thinner, your just gonna have to repaint anyway. Was the tape pressed down very firmly? Were your baseboards clean of dust before you put the tape down? Because, the adhesive won't stick if it was dusty.
mmm that sucks. I just painted my room last week and I got paint on the floor by accident. I used a little rubbing alcohol and it went away. Try using a little paint stripper on it.
IF U USE WATER BASE PAINT IT WILL COME OFF...OIL BASE, YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY A REMOVER, AND IT STINKS...OPEN A WINDOW......
Painter's tape never work! you might have to kinda dig out the paint drips, then if there's divits, use spackle to fill in the holes, and repaint, sorry, nothing is ever easy.
If you are just going to paint over it use paint thinner on a sponge to remove the large clumps and then take some sand paper and just lightly roughen the surface so when painted it will hold the paint. Also you are right painting is alot of work! If work is what you are afraid of you probably should have hired a painter.
