Flaherty agreed ii is a problem. be cause of 1he proces s. He said it is a paint. but it is a spe cial type of paint and I am assuming there is probab ly a proce ss they have 10 go throug h 10 ap pl y that so that ii meet sta ndards for encapsulating that lead based paint tha1 is on the wa ll s now, or what is le ft ofit.
