Question about drips

Simple question:

Do drips occur more often when the paint is thinned?

My experience is yes.

its thinner so it runs easier, but too thick and it won't flatten and you get oarnge peel.

Just make sure when your painting that you put up a sign that your painting if it's cool outside,a sudden blast of cool air will make the paint run too. Ask me how I know.

Too much air pressure/water will cause drips/runs also.....when i do get them i stop it with a piece of masking tape......just a quick touch..saves from doing a much bigger section over again.
