Hi Everyone:
I would like to strip wallpaper from a kitchen wall that I think has paint with some lead content underneath, though judging by the slight color change of my lead test kit, I am hoping the content is low.
(The house was built in 1956 and there is a pinkish coating underneath tthe wallpaper that probably is original.)
I know that I don't want to be gouging or scraping the paint .
But lets say that I am able to get the wallpaper off and scrub the walls with a wet cloth and sponge, without the wall being gouged apart.
Could I be releasing lead particles and dust into the air by the very act of stripping the wallpaper?
Thanks for your time.
Dave
