Technically, you need to be epa certified if you are doing the work for someone else. Use chemical removal like methylene chloride (yikes!) or peel away. Double bag any remnants. The epa won't do anything even if someone complains about your lack of certification, so no actual risk there. Don't breathe the fumes and don't expose kids or pregnant women to the lead.
