Filter Respirator

Lead paint question--are liquid strippers safer to use? I'm doing small areas-baseboards.?
Okay, I live in an old bungalow, built 1924--I imagine ALL the paint is lead-based, I've burnt off tons of it with a heat gun and probably lost more than a few brain cells along the way. But seriously, I can't afford the HAZMAT guys in the white suits---I just have some baseboards left. Can I buy a better respirator filter thing and burn, or is liquid the way to go?
I should have mentioned that some of the "lead" paint is coming up in flaps, some is just way too thick in the details of the moldings--i.e. the surface is very bumpy so I want it OFF rather than covering it with another layer of protective or sealing paint.
As long as the paint stays moist during and after removal there should not be a hazard so using a liquid would be the way to go. However the rags you use to wipe with will then be hazardous waste, put them in a plastic bag and then dispose of them properly. At our local dump they have an area where you can dump that kind of stuff for free.
