Default Stuck Head Gasket Material

What's the best way to remove head gasket material from the block? I'm using a scraper but it's not working well at all. I started to use a wire wheel drill bit but I heard that's too abrasive.

Thanks for your opinions

Any brand methylene chloride, if you get it on your skin, you'll know.

We sell alot of those 3M Bristle Disks at the auto parts store I work at. I know that they are for stuff like this but not sure which color you should be using.

Alright thanks. I'll give the spray remover a shot before I get the roloc pads
