HELP

I have spilt gloss paint on my rear projection TV screen.
The screen has a sort of ridge effect on it.
Any tips on how to remove it.
Thanks
Pam

Blimey, that sounds a bit tricky. You could try white spirit or turps, and work it in with an old toothbrush to get it into the ridges. But if it's dried, I'm not sure how successful this will be. You also risk damaging any sort of coating that may be on the screen. Do you have accidental damage cover on your household insurance ? It may be worth giving your insurance company a call, as there may be some clause whereby they will pay to have it professionally fixed, and you may not have to pay any excess ( if it can be fixed rather than being replaced ). It's worth a try.
