  • 1.  Lead Abatement/Encapsulation: Restoration

    Posted 2 hours ago

    Hello,

    Our institution is restoring a sculptural neon sign from the mid-1950s and a portion of the paint was tested for lead in which one portion of the sculpture came back as positive for lead. We are having a difficult time sourcing local vendors in Las Vegas to remediate the lead prior to metal work and repainting. Does anyone have any contacts for lead abatement or encapsulation companies that are willing to travel for this type of work or know of any conservators near the west coast that travel to conduct this type of work? Thank you in advance for your guidance.

    Thank you,

    Emily Fellmer

    Hi all-

    A quick reminder that while we encourage the sharing of resources in the C2C Care Community - posting of certain vendors doesn't imply endorsement by this program. Thanks!
