Nope, wood chisel, scraper, and a lot of hard work I'm afraid.

Solvents and stripper will soften it ........makes a ghastly mess, however.

Jonathon, being trade I bet you've accidentaly sprayed stonechip onto underseal

Takes it off a treat but is very expensive stripper

Easy,get someone else to do it
My saloon is just back from the blasters.
Still,there is alot of mess to clean up, but most of the stickie stuff is gone..

Heat gun and scraper makes it much easier. Heat just infront of the area you are scraping, this softens the underseal and heats the scraper. The underseal then comes off easily. The small residue left can then be tackled with wire brush on grinder.
