Best Answer

There are many brands of paint remover. Some are based on trichloroethylene and some on citrus oil. For outdoor work, the trichlor works fastest and for indoors, citrus is safest. Follow the label directions and avoid rushing the job. Let the chemical do its job. You should have to do only very little scraping. For large extents, such as re-doing an entire wall, you can sand blast brick and you can also use a propane torch with a 'duck-foot' flame spreader and lots of scraping. Big fun.
