I am repairing some doors and door frames and using a scraper to take off layers of gloss and water based paint that has been used over damaged surfaces. I am now concerned because I am revealing black paint underneath which I worry could be lead based. Does anyone know whether this is likely to be lead? Should I be worried? Bloody relieved to see this comment. Was afraid to even open it in case I had to leave home immediately. I have just been to leyland.

Thank you.

Evening, Was planning on sanding our stairs but did a swab test and 1 out of about 8 tests had signs of lead. What is the best way to remove safely? I read online about Peelaway but cannot find many instructions about what precautions need taking when using it.

Digital testing equipment is ideal for exact measurements of many variables. Multi detectors are great workhorses as they indicate the presence of metal within a wall such as studs, steel framing and electrical wires so can be used for a wide range of projects. For more specialist tasks we have a range of multimeters, digital thermometers, mains testers, pressure testers and inspection cameras. See more Hand Tools. Bosch Multi detector. Stanley Battery-powered Damp Moisture meter. The Studbuddy Magnetic Stud Finder. LAP Advanced Clamp meter. LAP V Socket tester. Magnusson IM18 Inspection camera.

Long story short, I still have work to do, to finish stripping the door frame, but I am now really concerned that I may have contaminated my house. Show Ignored Content. Nathan lowe , May 11, Thanks in advance! Some of the yellow paint, which i suspect is water based because it's very thin, came away underneath so in some spots, it's back to plaster.

It is more my husband who is going to panic about it more! I am repairing some doors and door frames and using a scraper to take off layers of gloss and water based paint that has been used over damaged surfaces. Best soloution is to use a product like Peelaway which has a poultice to keep the stripper moist and in contact. I've ordered a testing kit which is coming soon hopefully today.
