Paint Drips and Runs all over walls? Day old paint. What's the easiest way to get them cleaned up?

So my wife were just trying some samples last night of color on our Dining Room wall when she fell in love with painting it. We didn't have a roller yet, just a brush. I've had some, but not very much experience with it. I have had enough to know that drips and paint runs are bad. She put huge blotches of paint on several different places on the wall and there drips and runs everywhere. It's only about 18hrs old though and I know even down the road we can fix it.





What are your recommendations?Paint Drips and Runs all over walls? Day old paint. What's the easiest way to get them cleaned up?
Don't worry, this problem is no biggie and can be easily fixed. You will have to wait for the paint to completely and thoroughly dry and then sand over the drips and blotches with a sanding block (a sanding block can be purchased or made by wrapping a piece of sand paper around a large palm size piece of wood).





The reason you will have to wait for the paint to dry is that if it is still any where near tacky, your sand paper will gum up due to the friction and make even more of a mess on your wall. If you can make an indent with your fingernail in the paint, it is not dry. I have made that mistake !!





Your wife's ambition is admirable. There are books at the home improvement store which will give you hints on how to paint a room.
