Default Underseal Removal

Right guys the front wings are off, suspension is stripped back, there's unfortunatly plenty of rot - Can someone please tell me the quickest most efficient way of removing 28 year old hardened underseal.
If there is a quieter way of removing it than the wire wheel on the grinder I'm sure my neighbours would love me to hear it
Thanks.

Hot air gun and scraper...no naked flames but smells just as much...then wipe down whats left with white spirit or thinners...
