Doors




Today I ended up having the day off. So I began stripping the door for the baby's room. It's a 5 panel, with the panels all horizontal. The paint is old and could be lead based, so I'm stripping it with a heat gun. I'm using the heat gun because other than the electricity that is being used it is the most ecological. The paint hardens up again right away and then you can sweep it up and dispose of it properly. When the paint is dry and hard again, the toxins are also kept in. You need to wear a mask though when you are doing this.
