Default Fixing latex paint drips

My kid just called from college saying his roommate painted his window
frames with Sherwin-Williams gloss latex, and 8 hours later, there are
pretty large areas where the paint ran and forms drips (more like globs).
It's at the thick goo stage right now. Should they let it dry until it
hardens (if ever), and then razor blade it off & repaint the bad spots, or
what? I've never had this problem, so I don't know what to tell them.

I told them to use real paint, but they don't listen.


Considering that they are college students, I'd say the less they do,
the better. Let the paint cure, at least two weeks. Next time dad
visits the dorm (you do, don't you?), take along a razor scraper and
trim the drips. Don't want sharp objects in the hands of children )
Gloss latex? What color?

Only other alternative would be to try to remove all of the paint, not a
chore for children of any age )
