That paint is full of lead.
Also what are you doing ? Stripping paint or sanding primer.
There are plastic pads that look like scrub pads. they have grit glued throughout the pad . Nothing strips paint faster than one of these things, just do not hit an edge.
For sanding primer a hand block might be the best way to go, unless you know what you are doing or using high fill primer. Then the old orbital random pattern sander works pretty darn good.
I stripped down outside and tossed my clothes in the washer when sanding my last vehicle.
Used and old bath tub and electrolysis to strip my doors, fenders and every other thing that would fit. Must have had 50lbs of sludge even after I let it dry out over the summer. Bagged and sent it away to be disposed of.
