Soaked my brushes in brush cleaner. I've had to do this dozens of times
b/4. This time, apparently I did not clean the brush cleaner out well
enough from the brush.

Forward to now. Put a second coat on the interior of an entry. The paint
is peeling everywhere. What to do, besides sit & pout the rest of the day?
Maybe watch a game, I'm sure that might fix it!

Start over?!

Clean the walls with TSP: Trisodium Phosphate

"A non-sudsing powdered Trisodium Phosphate compound that is
formulated for heavy duty cleaning. Preferred by painting and cleaning
professionals for removing heavy deposits of greasy grime, smoke, soot
stains and chalked paint from walls, woodwork and floors. Removes
mildew and mildew stains when mixed with bleach. Cleans and prepares
surfaces for repainting. Also recommended for washing away paint
remover sludge."

Get the red box and not the green one, from the local paint section of
the borg...

Stop using a fancy "brush cleaner". See a recent thread here about
tips.

Can you tell us what brush cleaner you used?

What kind of paint did you use? Latex, oil based paint, finger paint? What is an "entry"? Is it a door, or is it a small landing just inside the door, and what are the walls of that entry made of; bare wood, drywall, concrete?

I'm presuming the first coat of paint is not peeling. It's the second coat of paint peeling off the first. Is that correct?

Can you tell if the first coat of paint was a latex or oil based paint? Was it fairly glossy?

Hmm,
Was it oil based paint? I don;t use oil based ones ny more.
I ust use soapy water and cleaning comb if it is a good quality brush
for reusing. Or I jut throw it away.

Afraid you'll have to redo the whole thing again.
Good luck.

You must scrape everything off or you will be doing it over even again
after the next coat of paint. Something more is wrong than just paint
cleaner on the brush. That would be gone well before you painted a
whole entryway.

What on earth keeps leading you to believe you're competent to paint?
