We have an old house and the wood trim has been painted numerous times. There is probably lead paint somewhere in all the layers. We have tried three different types of remover and still have layers of paint to remove. Please help!!

I suggest you use PEEL AWAY I it is the safest methoid of removing lead paint and will do the removal in a single application

you might also consider removing the trim and doors and other things that you can and take them to a business that does batch stripping. this is quickest way although it would cost more you will have much less elbow grease wasted.....
