Replacing vent with a Fantastic Fan tomorrow and can not get any Eternaclean or primer in time that the product suggests. Is there any household item I could use on my TPO roof to clean it before I use the Eternabond tape? Thanks!

Check the package but I believe it says mineral spirits, which did a good job for me.

Denatured Alcohol around the area.

Something to clean roof before applying Eternabond?

I have always used Acetone,same stuff that is in Eternaclean,cleans great and have never had a problem.

All of my applications of Eternabond there has been no failures in 6 years,just clean and follow instructions.
