You fellers really know how to hurt a guy! Lowell, I've bathed in all the best special thinners and cleaning solvents for more than thirty years in the interest of better living thru chemistry. At sixty, I'm not overly concerned about Pbitis except of course from the pov of the greater good. However, I don't strip lead paint with heatguns as I like the customary initial letter on all the words. I'll go beat eckfast now.
