Removing a super hard baked on gasket

[Gragson]

Gents, I need to remove a head gasket, came away attached on the head.
Feeler gauge worked for about a 3rd of it with no ali interference, the rest has no entry, baked on solid. Was thinking of letting it soak in diesel, small single cylinder jobbie.

Any better ideas please?

Squirty gasket remover works well and good for surfaces that are easily damaged https://www.amazon.co.uk/Loctite-Chisel-Gasket-Remover-400ml/dp/B002T8X0AS but not as well as a pneumatic gasket scraper on harder surfaces https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Air-Scra...562355&hash=item4b37c066e2:g:PqQAAOSw8RZaejpt

Stanley blade scraper probably better.
Few quid from screwfix etc.

Pack of sharp stanley blades, or a normal decent paint scraper but keep the edge ground dead flat and square.

Flatten the end of a piece of copper plumbing pipe & use that as a scraper.
