In all old houses, somewhere there is a layer of lead paint. I have

When I uses the heat gun, I heat the paint just enough for it to
bubble. I don't know if this releases lead or if you really need to
get it burning.

The infrared systems work but they're not cheap...esp with all the
producitivity accessories

according their info

"Does not cause lead to be released in the form of plumbic gases from
the paint when operated properly"


I'm not sure how this would be any different than the one
I use, which is considerably cheaper.
