    testing lead paint?

    How can I tell or even test whether a can of paint contains lead? Is it safe to test for this? Should it just say on the can or will some sort of check be needed on my behalf? If so, how can this be done and how can it be done safely?

    Best paint to use?

    I have a large bay window sill to paint approx 1.5m x 2m and I have tried to do this twice now only to have the same result... by the time I have cut in and started to fill in the middle the paint has started to dry and makes a mess when I get to the end. Is there a good Satin/EggShell paint that doesn't dry so quick and follows well that it allows you to paint the whole sill before it dry's out?
