I have a room in my house with approximately 20 linear metres of original Victorian skirting board, it’s been painted many times over the years, badly, unfortunately.
I’ve stripped approximately 1.5 m and it was quite a gruelling task especially since my FFP2 mask was probably not correct for the job since the paint is almost certainly full of lead.
My idea is to rent, from HSS, an extraction fan along with some ducting and also buy a proper respirator so I can do the job properly with my heat gun.
the window doesn’t open unfortunately as, you guessed it, it’s been painted shut along with all the beautiful architrave hence my requirement to duct the fumes.
Really I’m after peoples opinions, good idea or overkill? I’ve included an image of my handy work so far, needs a lot of sanding before I fill and primer it all before painting.
