I dunno how well-preserved it is, but it's durable. One of the lead encapsulants was used (at the contractor's recommendation, contrary to Ours) on a prominent building. One of the benefits was supposed to be that it required no tiresome or dangerous scraping; ya just schmear it on over the already-blistering and dirt-encrusted lead paint. which is an ideal base.
Yeah, right.
