Hey this is exactly what i needed to get rid of all the bumps and drips caused by paint and primer on the walls. Never thought of using a rasp plane. Thanks worked perfectly.
The back of the doors I just sprayed came in contact the plastic this is exactly what I need thank you thank you tube for making this precious content available
Thanks! I’m painting a house for a friend and the last paint job is horrific with massive sags and runs. This is aggressive but it will look better than what is there now.
Yep just try not to be overly aggressive with the sags. Remember, the solids in the paint you'll use will serve as a slight "filler" so just knock the sags down and paint as normal. You should be good to go.
Just did it today along with some spackling. It ripped the paint off the wall 😅 so I had to spackle a little more. Tomorrow is painting. Happy home making.
Brilliant! You have helped me save a tonne of time! We painted the walls but the bucket had little bits of dried paint that got all over the walls and they wouldn't come off with sanding. I tried scraping them with a blade but that took the paper off too. I would never have thought to try the rasp but it worked great! Thanks so much :)
My wife and I bought a house two months ago and the previous homeowners were quite honestly the worst painters i've ever seen in my life. Runs, sags, drips EVERYWHERE on the drywall. They also used cheap rollers and left lint and debris all over the walls. To make matters worse they realized they had lots of drips and runs and attempted to go back and smooth out some of them with the roller while the paint was still tacky creating a smeared / smudged texture in many area and it's absolutely hideous. I am having to go through the painful process of sanding out all the debris, getting rid of the runs, etc. in a 2,400 square foot house. Some rooms are better than others but the worst is the living room, runs everywhere. I am going to try and get one of the rasps. Joe, do you have a link to the type of rasp you were using? Tips to diy'ers when painting. 1. CLEAN YOUR WALLS of debris, dust, spider webs, hair, etc. before even thinking about picking up a paint brush or roller. Trust me it will look 10x better just doing this prep. It even helps to clean the floors in the rooms you are painting because hair, dust, etc, gets stirred up while moving about the room and this will stick to the paint if there's a lot of it, particularly if you are using eggshell and more glossy paints and not just flats. 2. If your walls are really greasy or dirty you may have to use TSP cleaner or a degreaser to get rid of the grime otherwise your paint might blister. You might even have to prime the wall to seal it in. 3. Close any air vents or registers adjacent to the rooms / walls you are painting as they could blow dust and debris on the paint before it has a chance to dry. 3. When cutting in make sure you use a high-quality brush that does not lose bristles everywhere because you will definitely see them. and once they are dry in it's nearly impossible to get them off. 4. When rolling paint on a wall use a high-quality roller. Yes, they are pricey +/- $10 for a 3 pack, but it's worth it not leaving lint all over the wall that looks horrible after your done. 5. As far as technique goes. Always cut in first before rolling. I know some will argue that you can cut in after rolling but generally I think that's harder that way. If you do roll first, have someone cutting in behind you as you continue to roll and don't let it sit before cutting in as this will smudge and smear the paint along those areas, which is hideous. 6. BIG TIP. You will need two coats. Some paint brands such as Behr claim you can get away with 1 coat. Trust me that's not true. You will need 2 coats. Do not overload your roller with paint either as that will lead to drips, runs, and sags. Apply pressure to the roller but not an excessive amount. Let the roller do the work. If you have very large surfaces to paint consider an 18 inch roller, but note they take a good deal of skill to use and your walls need to be relatively flat to get good coverage. 7. Keep an eye on the humidity is in your house when painting. You can get little monitors that will tell you what the air humidity is in your home. I know that some people scoff at this claim, but if it's pouring buckets outside or is wet outside and the humidity is really high in your house it's generally not be a good idea to paint that particular day. It might be worth getting a dehumidifier in the room and letting it run for an hour or so before painting. Note that small rooms when painted on all the walls can cause a sudden spike in humidity. If you get done painting a room and you can feel a noticeable jump in humidity and the walls don't appear to be drying, the humidity is much too high. You need a dehumidifier or you are gonna get sags, and runs galore. 8. Paint types. Again I'm gonna get hit with comments on this. To be honest I am not a fan of behr paints (primers, latex, and acrylic trim paints). I've used them enough over the past 20 years and just think quite well honestly, they are crap. Sherwin Williams paints (not the HD or Lowes knockoff versions they sell at their stores) and Benjamin Moore are typically much better-quality paints although they are quite pricey.
We might need to do this to our house, before putting it on the market. We’ve lived in our house for 13 years and haven’t fixed what the previous owners did, but we have a paint run all the way down one of our walls. Being new homeowners, we didn’t even notice it when we bought our house. 🤦🏻♀️ And I’m just now looking into how to fix it.
Got few of them to fix as well before i primer n paint, one of the other issues i have to seal with is paint peeling sanding edges finely beinf the edges want to lift up but once primer is on should hide it.
Will I take the same approach on crown moldings, top between and bottom . Just bought a house and they did a terrible job with painting ; lots of drip all over the crown molding too. ?
With crown, I'd be more inclined to use a sanding sponge. Get a couple of different grits (80, 100, 120) and progressively go up to 120. The sponge will handle the curves better and you can use the edge to get in the tighter detail.
Lol. You can definitely use this repair for that. Alternatively, using a sandpaper with 60 or 80 grit will work. When rolling, apply medium pressure and make sure you keep a wet edge to prevent lines.
All of joes tips are ridiculous. He is describing how to prevent flashing what you have are ropes. Basically the opposite problem for starters sooooo ya. For me to describe to you how to fix that problem would take about 50 or 60 pages. You could spend weeks of your life experimenting on the walls that you look at everyday or you could just go to work and do what you know how to do and pay a painter to paint
I think it can. However for brush marks on cabinets, I would probably opt for a random orbital sander with progressively higher grits to get the finish you want.

Great tip, love the rasp idea
Thank you! I just bought a house with excessive paint I’m looking forward to doing as many projects as I can myself. New subbie!
That's why I'm here too! Did you ever try it?
@@chelseygarrett4221 not yet! I’ve been so overwhelmed with other house necessities. But I saved this video for reference.
Just did it today along with some spackling. It ripped the paint off the wall 😅 so I had to spackle a little more. Tomorrow is painting. Happy home making.

Great tip! Was looking for the fastest way to fix a bunch of them and it looks like I just found it. Thanks

If it's a really long, obvious run, you might want to skim a coat of joint compound and sand before paint.
You're the maaaaaaaan!! Thank you much!
Thank You Joe.
You’re a sweetheart, thank you for the video. Can’t wait to try it
Hi, Joe! Can you share a link to the rasp tool you are using, please? Thanks for the great video!
Thank you for this.
Thanks for the tip!
What if u painted the day before what should I do since paint is fresher
Very helpful!
That’s a nice trick.
what kind of paint is that.....if i use that rasp to my paint it will peel off like a sticker. im using a behr interior semi gloss paint.
WOW Great Job
Thank you!
How do you fix that on painted furniture?
Can you skim coat and or sparkle over a painted wall
Will this work for drywall dust that was painted over and left a orange peel effect?
You can come to our house! We have plenty of drips from previous owner 🙄 thanks for sharing!
Got few of them to fix as well before i primer n paint, one of the other issues i have to seal with is paint peeling sanding edges finely beinf the edges want to lift up but once primer is on should hide it.
Can i use that on cement wall?
Thank you x 10
good vid
Would that work with latex semi-gloss paint as well? BM salesman was not encouraging about repairing semi-gloss.
Yes it would.
For semi, I would just do an additional sanding after the drip is removed so that the touch up will feather into the rest of the finish.
Hi! This is awesome! Can you do that on semi gloss paint??
sure it should work. just use a roller when repainting so you dont show brush strokes. they show up more as the gloss level increases
Will I take the same approach on crown moldings, top between and bottom . Just bought a house and they did a terrible job with painting ; lots of drip all over the crown molding too. ?
With crown, I'd be more inclined to use a sanding sponge. Get a couple of different grits (80, 100, 120) and progressively go up to 120. The sponge will handle the curves better and you can use the edge to get in the tighter detail.
Was that drywall?
Follow up question and I promise I won’t bug you anymore LOL. Do I have to repaint the entire wall or just the spots where the lines are?
Just that area and around it to blend it in.
Joe, what number grit sand paper? Thanks
Hey Katwoman. I believe I used 80 grit
Will 120 grit work for light paint runs
It depends upon how bad the run is but also the paint. I'd say try it.
No drop cloth or vacuum 1st.lol
Does this work for satin paint??
Sure. As long as you use the same paint as the original
What’s it called that you use to scrub the wall other than the sanding block trying to google and purchase it
I think you're referring to the rasp.
Here's a pocket rasp from HD.

Hope you left all that paint dust in their carpet.
How can I repair roll lines on a wall after the paint has dried? I suck at painting, lol
Lol. You can definitely use this repair for that. Alternatively, using a sandpaper with 60 or 80 grit will work.
When rolling, apply medium pressure and make sure you keep a wet edge to prevent lines.
Call a pro

Where can I buy that particular rasp file, i.e., one that I can use with 2 hands (arthritis)?
Here you go.
www.lowes.com/pd/Stanley-Surform-File/1115717
Hopefully your using good quality paint that doesn't flash after it dries.
Yep. I regularly use SW or BM paints. I've had good results with them both and imo, it's not worth trying to skimp with lower cost paints.
The name for this tool is a Rasp Plane.
Always leave a window open doing that stuff and wiping walls down
Can this be done on kitchen cupboards with brush marks (painted on laminate surface kitchen cabinet doors)?
I think it can. However for brush marks on cabinets, I would probably opt for a random orbital sander with progressively higher grits to get the finish you want.
I will just stick to light sand paper - the rasp plane is too overkill.
Poor carpet
Can u get that rasp at Lowe’s??
what do you call this scraper...I am in Canada and cannot seem to find it?
you didn't cover the carpet!?
Ohh no!
And destroy the rest of the plaster around it, most people like smooth walls.
