| Hi,
I posted this on the craft forum but haven't had an answer. Hopefully someone here will know. I'm in the process of painting an old toodler-size rocking chair for my grandaughter who's due next month. I happen to have the perfect color on hand. It's a Red Devil acrylic latex enamel.
Is the Red Devil safe to use? If not, what type of paint would be safe? Thanks~ |

| I just know in 1978 they stopped using lead base paint. I don't know about anything else. Look at the manufacturer's name, address, phone etc. and try to contact them and find out. Let us know. I like this forum, I see not too many people seem to use this forum. I hope it picks up. Don't you? I enjoy painting acrylic and flowers especially. I have painted a lot of ornaments this Christmas. |

| Hi Grama, That's a great idea, thanks a lot. I've never been to this forum before till today. I'm usually over on the gardning forums but I'm learning my way around THS and posted on "buying and selling a home" last year when we sold a rental house. I do enjoy painting and I'm always looking for something I can smear some paint on. I love gardenweb and freak out when my ISP is down, Lol. That only happens when we get a bad storm or high winds. |

| Hi again, I just spoke to a representative at Red Devil and he said that the paint is non-toxic. He went on to say that I if the child were to actually "eat" the paint, he couldn't make any promises. That sounds reasonable to me and can be said about many things that a child might inadvertantly chew on. Thanks for the advice! |
