I built open shelves to sit on top of my base cabs for both sides of my fireplace. I am learning how to spray different finishes... by making mistakes along the way.
My latest is, when I sprayed the finish coat (Advance Satin) on the open shelves, I sprayed the front edge of the shelf (face frame on front edge of shelf) last... after I had done the shelf already. After an hour, I ran my hand over the surfaces... all of the vertical surfaces and upper surfaces are perfectly smooth... but the shelf surface must have had some over spray on it (or atomized paint that dried in the air and settled on the shelf surface) from when I did the front edge, since it is not perfectly smooth.
If I let it dry a couple days and use 2000 grit wet/dry paper with water and dish detergent to gently go over the shelf surface, will that help smooth it out without scuffing or dulling the satin finish of the paint?
I guess my alternative is to put a third finish coat on and make sure to do all the front edges (that spray across the shelf surface) first, and the shelf surface last?
