- Abstract
- The report describes the removal of lead based paint from exterior surfaces of a single family attached house using alkaline/solvent thixotropic liquid paint removers followed by a high-pressure/low-volume water spray. The extent of the reduction of the lead based paint hazard, the cost of the process and the observed problems and merits of this water wash paint removal system are presented.
