Trying to figure out before I do my own mods

I already know how dumb this sounds - but I attempted to plasti dip my chrome emblems last night and went a little overboard with my second coat, well, noticeably overboard, and now I have some really thick areas of excessive product. My thoughts are that sanding and recoating won’t lead to the results I am hoping for- but is it worth trying or does anyone have a decent solution?

You are better off peeling it off and reapplying. You can't sand or buff dip.

peel it off and start again, no other way that I know of. It should peel right off especially since you just did it.

You can't sand Plastidip.

As others have mentioned, just peel up and start again.
