I should have cleaned off my desk, but I sat his fat leg to cool on the rack anyways. And it leaned into paint. I didn’t realize it until I was sealing. Is there any hope for this.

Can you lightly sand it off?

i thought about that, but afraid i will mess up vinyl. wondering if i can apply a color to tone it down.
Try a toothpick dipped in thinner to lighten it and then turn it into a needle stick on a newborn and put a band aide on it!

I would have, but its 3month joseph. I figured he may be too old for that. i did try to lighten with thinner, its not budging. Presently trying to see if i can turn in to a lighter scratch.

Even if you couldn’t have fixed it, you can always turn it into a little scratch!

If I’m desperate and the mistake is small I do a toothpick that I dip into windsor newton brush cleaner to very gently “erase” my flaw. I use a light touch, and immediately wipe with a q-tip dipped in water to stop any paint removal. Its scary and a gamble but if the flaw is slight its worth a try before stripping and repainting the whole thing.

I thought (until I read the post) that those were lab puncture marks that babies get as newborns. 
I didn’t realize it was a boo-boo

Joseph and June’s fat legs work my nerves…LOL. I can’t get them to stay on the cooking rack without eventually falling over.

Bump for good info!
Might need to use some thrift store upright paper towel holders for those big hams! I use them for heads, but large limbs work well on them also.
