Directions
Important Note: Before starting the test, you must cut the two (2) lead test pads in three (3) equal pieces each, creating a totoal of six (6) smaller test pads. To insure longevity, immediately place the product back in the package to protect from damaging sunlight.
FOR CERAMICS, DISHES AND TOYS
Improperly manufactured glazed dishes and ceramics can result in lead absorbing into food and beverages causing lead poisoning.
1. CLEAN all dust, dirt and grease from surface to be tested.
2. TAKE A SMALL test pad and moisten with eye dropper by placing approximately 4 drops of water on test pad. Be careful not to over saturate the pad. (Note: Orange coloring of the test pad is normal when reacting to water. Do not be alarmed!)
3. SLOWLY rub test pad over all patterns containing different colored surfaces and of course, over any chipped or cracked surfaces for a two (2) minute period.
RESULTS: If the test pad or tested area turns pinkish to dark purple, dangerous levels of lead are present. Discontinue use of the tested item.
FOR MINI-BLINDS, PIPES AND SOLDERS
1. CLEAN all dust, dirt and grease from surface to be tested.
3. PRESS moistened test pad firmly against surface to be tested and hold for approximately two (2) minutes.
RESULTS: If test pad or tested area turns pinkish to dark purple, dangerous levels of lead are present.
FOR LED CRYSTAL
1. Add two (2) teaspoons of white vinegar in item to be tested. Let item sit overnight at room temperature.
2. The following morning, remove one (1) small drop of vinegar with eye dropper and place the drop on a dry test pad. Wait two (2) minutes and look for noticeable pinkish to dark purple tinted color change.
RESULTS: If test pad or tested area turns pinkish to dark purple, dangerous levels of lead are present.
CLEANING TEST SURFACES
If a surface becomes pink during testing, wash the area with an all-purpose household cleaner and the color will disappear.
RED PAINTED SURFACES
When testing surfaces that are painted red, you must check for "bleeding" of the red paint by moistening household cotton or cotton tipped applicator with a few dropos of distilled white vinegar. Rub the moistened cotton the red surface. If red appears, the lead test pads cannot be used.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Keep all test kit items and any lead-containing items out of children's reach.
2. Once a test pad has been moistened, use immediately. Test pads are not reusable.
3. If you wish to test the same item twice, WASH the item with ordinary all purpose household cleaner before retesting.
4. If test results are positive, exercise precaution when handling material.
5. Lead Surface test pads cannot be used to detect lead in water.
6. Lead surface test pads cannot detect lead directly oon plaster, a gypsum surface, or gypsum dust.
7. When testing soldered food cans, be sure to rub the test pads only ten seconds or less. Longer rubbing times cause the test pads to turn purple, which may mask a positive test for lead.
FOR SOIL
For over 50 years exhaust from America’s automobiles, using leaded gasoline, has contaminated the soil in many of our playgrounds and gardens. You can effectively determine the dangerous lead levels by following these directions:
1. Gatherone teaspoon of soil and place in a non-leaded (plastic) container.
2. Mix soil to break up any large pieces.
3. Add two (2) teaspoons white wine vinegar to the soil sample and mix well. Let sample sit overnight at room temperature.
4. The following morning, remove one (1) small drop of of vinegar with eye dropper and place the drop on a dry test pad. Wait two (2) minutes and look for a noticeable pinkish to dark purple tinted color change.
RESULTS: If test pad (with sample) turns pinkish to dark purple, dangerous levels of lead are present.
LIABILITY
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the misuse of the Lead Surface Test Kit or for the interpretation of the results by the user. If lead contamination is suspected, based upon this test, consult a professional testing laboratory, a de-leading specialist or your local Department of Public Health.
