Do you ship to Canada? I have lead paint on my basement concrete and the workers used Blue Bear Mastic cleaner which I thought was the wrong product and then Klean Strip in some spots and then Blue Bear Coating Remover which was what I thought they were using initially and worked the best by far. They used water wash in between the different products. It still smells very bad after a week even with negative air pressure machine. I'm very sensitive. Help?
