I would add that you want to clean, clean, and clean it first. Silicones, vinyl treatments, and black shoe polish has to be removed before you do anything. Wash with soap and water, clean with prep-sol, and then soap and water again. Use lots of clean rags to wipe off the solvent. Repeat above steps until you don't get anymore black on your solvent rag.
Failure to get it clean before sanding will cause you to just smear the contaminants all over the roof, and you'll get fisheyes or other problems. BTDT |
