Replacing Lead Painted Window Putty: What You Need to Know
Asked by CraftyFox12
I have an old door with lead paint, and the window putty is in rough shape. I want to make sure I'm following lead safety guidelines while I mask up and try to replace the putty. Is it safe to do this, and are there specific fillers I should consider? Also, can I simply paint over the existing window putty with lead paint? Here's a link to a picture of the putty: https://imgur.com/a/Zsff2uo

If it's a door, I recommend taking it outside to work on it completely. Just ensure you're following all the proper lead safety precautions, and you'll be good to go!
