Yes, my biggest fear is runs. I'll most likely spray some scrap wood first so I can get a feel for it.
I've read elsewhere that if you get some runs that aren't too bad you may be able to save a restrip by lightly sanding out the run once it dries. Hope I don't need to put that theory to the test.
Thanks for the tips!
