Default paint problem

I'm repainting woodwork inside a 1928 house. Some of the interior white
gloss is certainly more than 35 years old, possibly much more. I'm
stripping it in case there's lead in the paint. Some of the gloss white
paint does not soften with a hot air gun, nor Paint Panther chemical
stripper. Any suggestions to get it off? Or shall I just sand it and
take my chance on the lead.


if it doesn't want to come off, leave it on! Consider yourself lucky.

Sanding lead is, er, not smart. Burning it off indoors ditto.
