  • what about if I have bits of paint here and there, from previous painting? What would the best way to take those drips and errors off? just scrape lightly? or sandpaper light lightly?

  • @LindaReinhardt

    Lilda: a light dose of heat should take those off. If not, yes, scrape it. If you're talking about paint splatter on FINISHED wood, then I'd scrap it with a razor, then touch it up with stain and polyurethane. Good luck with your project! Ron

  • If its lead paint why are you dry sanding?

  • @bikemandan510

    There's very little left -- just traces, not enough to do harm -- by the time I get to sanding

  • there is no way thats lead paint. if so that was a newly painted surface. you should not mislead . shame on you

  • @mrfixitno

  • @werkbook Thank youi!!!!

    

  • If I was doing this exact project I would change three things, one would be to have a sealed, rated pop up enclosure to trap fumes and particles while removing the lead paint, second would be a respirator to protect me from the fumes while doing the former as well as during staining and finishing, lastly I would use a mohawk stain to eliminate the need to buy two products that might not be compatible because the pigment used in that stain settles and is thick enough to use as a paint

  • @dirosaga as stated in other posts you can find guns via thrift-stores and yard sales on the cheap. hell, i bought mine for $22 at home depot.

  • @werkbook Thank you! That clarifies things quite nicely! :) Hm, should I leave her room alone for now to be on the safe side or would it be OK to do as well following your instructions above?
