Would this work on oil based paint thats been on there for 80yrs?

Yes, it would. Best method if you have any amount is to use a heat gun ( $20 or so, or you might get away with a good hair dryer on hi. Heat a few square inches with slow circular motion with gun a couple of inches from surface. Heat for about 15 seconds then immediately scrape with a pulling motion with body of scraper almost parallel to surface. Two hands best, one pulling and one pressing down near head of tool. If this sounds like too much work, It is usually considerably faster than alternative. Keep the blade sharp, the sharper the better 30 sec of sharpening about every 30 min of scraping. I have spent many hours scrapping very old varnish, dozens of layers from my 46 foot sailboat. This one is particularly good for getting into tight spaces and the smaller detailed areas. There is a larger scraper with replaceable blades for big areas. Works the same way.

Ya it does. I do glass work and I use it to get caulking and old paint off before I set glass and it will get you to a good clean pic of wood

Can it be used to remove paint from metal?

It probably could, but you would need to soften up the paint first. I used it to scrap an inside of an old trunk (paper on the inside, soaked with vinegar)

Can i use it on a mirror?

Hi, you should not use this on a mirror. If you need to remove something from a mirror, I would suggest the below item instead. I have also listed the extra blades in case you need them.
