Our house has some very old windows. As much as I would like to keep them, I worry about the lead in the paint. If I use a chemical solution to strip paint off the wood window frames, is there a safe one out there that will neutralize the lead? These windows have pull out pins to place them when open. Not the weights found in most old windows.
