Hi,

I’ve applied a couple of coats of Minwax aerosol spray lacquer to a small box, maybe 6″ x 4″ x 4″.

After spraying the entire box and letting it sit there was a ridge of lacquer built up along the bottom edge of the piece. 

I sanded it smooth with 220 grit, and tried again, this time spraying only a single side and then let it set up horizontally.  I still got  small ridge of laquer at the bottom edge, and it was horizontal so gravity was not pushing it down. 

I can sand it again but before doing so am wondering first how do I not get this build up at the edge anymore?

I do not think I am applying it too thick. The most recent pass along a 6″ edge takes less than one second to complete.  Just one pass, no back and forth.  Earlier coats were thicker, but if it was 1.5 seconds I’d be surprised. 

How do I get rid of this ridge of lacquer for good and keep it from occurring again?
