By mistake added water-based spirit into oil-based paint

[MacLDN]

Yup, I think I've made a tin of very colourful *mayonnaise* and smeared on the door. It's not drying up at all

Here's more details:
1. did 1st coat [B&Q Exterior Gloss] without adding anything - it dried OK.
2. then by mistake, I added water-based clean spirit [Bartoline] into the tin and shook very well
3. painted on top of the 1st coat, thinking: "humm....the texture has changed...?"
4. a half day later the surface is still wet

Can anyone suggest a solution... Paint stripper or oil-based white spirit?

Thanks for your help!

Paint scraper, newspaper on floor - scrape it off.

Thanks mattylad,
No chemical required? Just brute-force scraping?

If its in the grain....Its gonna be a pain...

OK, I'll wait for it to dry and try to scrape it off...wish me luck!

If it dries, why will you need to scrape it off?

I thought Bartoline was white spirit?

Bartoline do white spirit, yes. They also do 'clean spirit' which is some weird water based stuff.

I would have thought you would thin water-based paint with water, so is this "clean spirit" just a way of selling water at inflated prices?
