RE: [DML] Re: Heatgun + Frame = Bye Bye Epoxy

If you like the smell it may be too late for you!

The heat will vaorize not only organic compounds but inorganic ones such as 
lead or zinc. I doubt if our frame has lead in the paint but it actually 
could especially being made in a differnt country without the health and 
safety laws of today. Lead paint is still used in some industrial 
applications.The reason you would wear a mask for removal with heat is the 
same reason you would wear one if you were spraying it on.
