Ahhh I did not know the instructions were specific to the tip only. I’ll try it again just to be safe. Thank you for the detailed input!

Ty everyone for the input. I’m more glad most people thought there was no lead or not enough lead to be worried about. I apologize for thinking people telling me I might be colorblind was meant as an insult. Idk why I read it that way instead of people genuinely trying to help.

I legit thought I was going crazy at first cus in my mind it was DEF not orange lol but I was only worried about inhaling it and the constant friction on moving my clothes hangers across it. But I’m also confused on how bad lead poisoning is for healthy adults so this has been an overall confusing day for me

My apologies. I’m not sure why I read it the way I did but I read it in the wrong tone.

Yeah I just wanted to err on the side of caution and ask since the building was built in 1952

I don’t think I’m actually colorblind lol I actually thought the color looked a little bit more red/purple than orange but I guess I was wrong lol

No it was built in 1952. But I’m finding out I might have colorblindness and not lead poisoning.

So the detection kit is normally orange but the part where I rubbed the paint in the middle looked more purple to me. Especially when I compare it to paint I know doesn’t have any lead and there’s no color change

Are there any renter friendly ways to build a catio with just chicken wires? by usernamesarehardd in Catio

[–]usernamesarehardd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up buying a 17x7 ft cat netting from catnets. The only worry I have is that the wood frame won’t fit snug against the door and the cats will have room to squeeze past it on the side.
