Paint Removal

Hi All,

I have an old wicker moses basket which has been in the family for many years. With the recent arrival of my daughter I had hoped to be able to let her use the basket I had slept in many moons ago.

However, before letting her use it I purchased a Lead Paint Test kit and unfortunately the result came back positive.

Would anyone know of someone who could removal all of the paint from this?

I'd would really hope that she would be able to use it before she grows too big given the history attached to it.

How to deal with lead paint safely
The easiest way to deal with lead paintwork, if it is in good condition, is to paint over it with a coat of modern paint. This will seal in the lead and prevent it from causing harm.

The problem with wicker basket is that there is quite a lot of surface area to cover.

Getting it stripped is the better option.
