Use the product called Gouzy Shine Enchancer.It brushes on very good.Dries fast and decal setting solution friendly.Brush slow.Bubbles may appear but easy to brush out.Brushing to fast crests bubbles with any glosses.

Windex or Ammonia should do the trick,  Micro Gloss clear is an acrylic.   The problem will be what is the underlying paint?   If it too is an acrylic then the windex/ammonia will affect that too.   Be prepared to repaint the nose.   Work small to minimize the amount of repair work to be done

Yep, did that to the nose of the 1/72 B-36. With Future, you need to wick it off with the torn edge of a paper towel if it runs and coolects on low points.

It's not clear which gloss you used.

If it's Future -- or whatever they're calling it this week -- Windex should remove it, though it will be a mess any way you look at it. If it's lacquer or enamel-based -- i.e., if you meant Testors Glosscote -- then I suspect the 'nuclear option' is all that's left: either sanding out and polishing up the bad areas, or stripping the whole thing and starting over

We've all been there...and it sucks.

Ok, at the time i was brushing on the gloss I was "sure" it went on thin and smooth.

I woke up next day to find there were rivers of gloss that had gone down the sides, and now hardened over my already masked windows on the bottom, using masking liquid. The model is a Heinkel 111 from Revell.

I almost dropped in horror!  Can anyone help me out of this mess, perhaps someone with a similar experence?  Any advice will be listened to!! Eats
