It's not as exotic as 'The Zoo Keeper's Wife' and not as dicey as 'The Time Travelers Wife' but the venue is the same – I am the counterpart.

Lead Based Paint Concerns

The PW Asks: What have you learned about precautions and issues surrounding the contamination from lead-based paint?

The Painter Says: The easiest way to deal with it is to encapsulate it. There are special encapsulation primers that have a thick mil to go over the top of oil based paint which is what lead-based paint was made of. The primer will seal it right in.

PW: FYI to our readers - Signet Painting is a Lead-Safe EPA Certified Firm.
