finish goof need help!

Just finished applying my second coat of finish on a tiger wrap base, got a nice level finish and put the rod in the dryer, came back 30 min. later and a cable tie mysteriously fell( darn gremlins) and landed in the finish! DOH! I removed from sticky finish and let rod continue drying.Did not damage the entire section just left a couple of bumps and grooves where it landed Now what!?!?
Can I sand the bumps smooth and recoat with a thin layer? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

P.S. You gotta laugh at this! Perfection will never be attained as long as gremlins move guides and drop stuff in our finishes!

I hate GREMLINS! LOL

Yes, you can sand the finish after it sets up good and firm. Going forward, a litte flame can make the Gremlin attack
dissapear if you would have caught it soon enough.

Block sand it. Don't just use your hand and take it very slow so ya don't go to far and get into the thread and all is well.

I had a bug land in the finish, and by the time I realized it, The finish was fairly well along in setting up. I was able to remove most of the bug. I got my Wife's mega-watt hair dryer out, and was able to heat the finish up enough so that it flowed. I was able to get the wings and legs of the bug out of the finish. The finish leveled out, and turned out great.

I know this information is to late to help you now, but might help the next time the Grimlins attack.
