Question about lead paint stripping.

Howdy, everybody. I'm currently in the process of trying to strip paint from my century homes porch, railing, columns, you name it. I tested for lead, some of the layers are lead paint, but most aren't. I'm currently hitting it with a lot of paint stripper, but there's a few areas that have so many layers of paint it's taking forever. Would it be safe to hit them with a heat gun as long as I'm using a respirator and it's outdoors with tons of fresh air 94 should I avoid that? submitted by /u/JakobNarbei [link] [comments]
