You should be careful using in old mini-blinds for anything, as older
stuff
(and even some newer stuff) used lead as stablizers. Probably only
applies
to vinyl blinds but I wouldn't be surprised if some really ancient stuff
had lead in the paint. Do a search if it applies to you.

I suspect the lead was used as color much as lead and titanium oxides in
paint.
