Finally started stripping all the trim in our home! Any tips and tricks?
I will say it seems there’s only about 2-3 layers of paint with the top layer being v e r y shitty latex paint that was already staring to peel off, so with the help of my IR paint stripper it’s coming off like butter! I keep seeing some flecks of green paint which I’m assuming is lead paint so I’m wearing gloves and a respirator. I did read that these heaters don’t heat lead based paint enough for it to be toxic but I’m still being careful. How are you guys doing this with pets in the home, that’s my main concern especially with the fumes. I have an air purifier that works with VOC’s as well but want to make sure I’m doing this correctly since I never see anyone mention pets in the home. I’m working on the second floor for now and I keep them on the first floor on the opposite end of the house, windows cracked too. TYIA!
