Fixing overspray. Can I get rid of it?

I sprayed a cabinet door with ML Campbell’s Krystal conversion varnish and noticed a little bit of overspray residue. Wondering if this can be rubbed out with something or does it have to be resprayed?

The sheen is gloss if that helps.

It's hard to say for sure without being able to touch the surface, but it's worth a gentle attempt. A very light touch with a scraper, perhaps using a utility knife blade as scraper for a small area might be worth a test.

You might also try using a crumpled up brown paper bag. Crumple it and wad it up in your hand. What you want to do is sort of soften it up. Then un-crumple it and flatten it out. Now, rub gently in the direction of the grain.
