Has anyone got any tips on removing drips in gloss paint that is a few
days old.

I started to spot sand the the drip but it became clear pretty quickly
that the paint had not dried so i sanded a bit more and have ended up
back to the wood i was covering. I have touched up the scars with
white emulsion and will re-gloss but was wondering if there was a
better way to approach this job.

Why emulsion? Emulsion is a very poor undercoat for a gloss finish, as it
doesn't flow. White undercoat would be much better.

If you can be patient, I'd leave it a few weeks until the paint has hardened
off. You might be able to shave them off with a razor blade, or wet and dry
(depending on the situation). However, you're also rather likely to see the
patch unless you are a very skilled painter (which, judging by the fact that
you got drips in the first place, seems unlikely). Your best bet (if you're
reluctant to start again with the whole item) would be to repaint the
section - e.g. on a door that might be the panel, or the stile, or the
muntin etc.
