While painting some trim, a brush bristle stuck to the wall in paint. How may i fix this before the 2nd coat?

Do i have to scrape off all the paint? May the local spot be sanded? How can i remedy the situation with the least amount of work? It was only the 1st coat.While painting some trim, a brush bristle stuck to the wall in paint. How may i fix this before the 2nd coat?
remove the bristle ASAP, sand the spot lightly after it is good and dry, or if it is still somewhat flexible just paint over it again. once sanded wipe ot with a tack rag and put on second coat, No Problems!While painting some trim, a brush bristle stuck to the wall in paint.

If possibe, get some tweezers and pull the bristle out. It should be okay to put another coat of paint on your wall, making sure you put a little extra on that spot.
Depends on the paint, latex is easy to fix....if its oil based or a varnish its a little more involved but it can be done, just takes a little longer.
Easy, just flick a part out of the bristle(expose)with your pocket knife. Then jerk it out and scrape flat with your knife blade.


The next coat will cover it all up properly.
Get a Stanley knife and gently pick at on end of the bristle stuck on the wall until it is able to be pulled off. then you may sand it down a little. The 2nd coat will cover it well enough not to see it.


It pays to buy the best quality brush you can afford to minimise bristles falling out in the first place.
NO wait until its dry then paint over it and tape the parts off that you don't want that color to go on most of all relax and have some fun
sand that baby off then recoat. no big deal. :)
