I have been notified by another member that there is additional information on the stay on finishes on handmade wood products. Please visit the handmade toy alliance > savehandmadetoys@gmail.com.
I am sure that a note to your congress person would help.
That's an e-mail address not an http link.

Finishing is an 'Art & a Science'. Actually, it is a process. You must understand the properties and tendencies of the finish you are using. You must know the proper steps and techniques, then you must execute them properly.
General Finishes can provide lead testing certification on just about any finishing product they make.

Thanks Jack............ Now , if they can just change the rules................
No PHD, but I have a DD 214
Jeff, as I understand it, lead is not the only issue for compliance. And, as I understand it, just testing components is not good enough. The finished product must be submitted to an approved testing facility for certification.

+1 to that.....Quickest way to turn the USA economy around? Get rid of the EPA!
& when that horror is gone, what say we go after OSHA next?
Little lettered .gov entities make my skin crawl...

That is incorrect according to an article in Wood Magazine 2-3 months ago. That article says that component testing is sufficient. It also says that this year only finishes are subject to testing. Some manufacturers are making that data easy to get, other, no so much. Starting next year, things like fasteners, etc need to be tested.
Matt, can you please tell me which issue of Wood had that article?
I've looked at my old issues and can't find it.

Kids put everything in their mouths. They chew on anything. Be very careful with any finish. I like the idea of not finishing it at all. Make sure the wood is non-toxic also. These days you could be sued easily for not following every precaution.
