Yikes! 80 year old paint very likely has lead. High heat guns and propane torches are now illegal for contractors and definitely vaporize toxic lead. Quiet, faster heating of shoebox-size area at 400 releases releases no lead fumes using eco-strip infrared paint remover.
I still find the propane torch works quicker but it is a little more dangerous and also messy (burning flakes of paint) and the risk of fire but it is a lot quicker. Another way of removing paint is with a course aggressive sanding machine depending on what you're stripping
@bushkilledtowers it actually doesn't take that long. The paint heats up within seconds and a broad scraper peels it away cleanly. I'd say it took less than five minutes to clean the surface area we see in this video.
Cant you get lead poisoning from the vapors?

striping or blasting anything causes cancer. I am even afraid to cut bricks or concrete anymore.

Use aircraft remover. Spray it on then sit back and enjoy the show.

For really fast paint removal I use a propane torch ..once the building catches
fire its only a matter of a few minutes till the problem is solved.
Bring a six pack and kick back and watch the firemen at work.
Fast, easy, fun solution to a difficult job.

80 year old paint has lead in it! Use low heat infrared speedheater from eco-strip to not vaporize the lead. That is an EPA lead-safe method.

wow removing 80 year old paint- seems like to would take 80 years with that method

Yikes, no warning about the lead-health risk and how to do lead-safe work.
