We over painted a bit on our finished wooden trim. How do we get it off??

For small bits, use a thumbnail. If it's more then that, a plastic scrubby thing. You can also be real gentle with an exacto knife with the blade that's flat across the front.

I would take a putty knife-not a flexible one or even a chisel and at a 90 degree angle to the wood and scrape it off. Be gentle about it so you don't damage the wood. If the wood is profiled, like a molding it'll be hard to get it off without damaging the wood finish. You could try Goof Off, just read the can first, becasue I 'm not sure. In the house we bought, we used the chisel and carefully and patiently worked the paint off.

If it's in the first day you can scrape it off with your fingernail or using a plastic putty knife. If it's already cured, then use a Q-tip to work in some linseed oil (just keep it off of your walls). Linseed will both nourish your wood and remove the latex. Just be careful not to get oil spots on your walls because you'll have to repaint those spots if you do.

The water base gained't paintings nicely over the oil base. you will get it to cover with some coats, notwithstanding it is going to scratch off on the slightest contact. And regrettably, now that you've already utilized the water base over the oil base, even yet another coat of oil base on proper of that isn't paintings because you're merely portray over the water base. it will might want to be scrape or sanded off now yet another product you may try is Kilz Kp

Take a putty knife with a rag. Take and buy yourself a quart of paint deglosser (Wil-Bond) and put liquid on the rag and with your putty knife rub the edge of your jambs, the paint will wipe right off, smells but works with ease! good luck

IF the trim was very well sealed it may just peel off. Otherwise you are going to have to sand it of and refinish those spots

if the paint is still fresh, you can peel it of. if not, try a plastic scrubby & hot soapy water
