I have about 20 sets of exterior window trim I'd like to patch up (minor termite damage/dry rot) and refinish. I've already confirmed lead-based paint. Initially, I was thinking about wet-sanding/scraping just the problem areas, re-prime, seal, then re-paint. But now, I'm considering stripping all of the lead trim paint with a chemical stripper, instead of just scraping away the problem areas.
What would you all suggest? And if it's the chemical stripper, would I be fine with a HEPA respirator, googles, gloves and a disposable body suit?
Thanks!
