<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 2980, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I would do it on my kitchen table as you are. I would just lay down paper and do the stuff on the paper. keep the stuff wet so the dust does not fly if you are scrapping the lead. Rinse it well in the sink and depose of the papers. Washing the table and counters when you are done helps. A lot of the fear about lead is it being ingested. If your grandson wants to chew on the panels just say no. The tiny amount that you may stir up is not going to harm anyone. It was a ploy to start companies to abate lead back in the 80s. It is almost like the fear of radiation from Fiesta. Back ground levels are all around us. The lead in gasoline would have killed 90% of the population. Children chewed on lead paint on window sills for years.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
