Some of the stuff on roof will simply not come up, but I’m not sure if it is corrosion, lichen, or just decades of dirt. I used a combination of soap and water, followed it up with a nice scrub down and rinse, and made sure it was plenty dry. To start with, I cleaned the surface where I would be putting down the Tropi-cool. I probably would have ended up with less on my hands as well. That would have been easier to apply and much easier to clean up. The next time I apply some, I will definitely be using a trowel or putty knife to put it where it needs to go. But since I was expecting something thinner, I only had a foam brush with me even though it recommended a trowel. That’s great though as it goes where it is intended and does not run. It was still in the shape from being extruded into the can and I have no idea how long ago that was. It is not paint-like, caulk-like, I’m not even sure how to describe how thick it is. It says on the label that it does not need to be stirred prior to use, but I was not expecting what I saw when I opened the lid. It is pretty heavy for its size, but I assumed what was inside was something of a thick paint-like consistency. When I opened the can, I was up on the roof. Since the leak was likely on the edges of the Eternabond, it seems easiest to cover the edges and work it over the rest of it. The area I covered had been patched with Eternabond previously, and I chose to go over the Eternabond instead of tearing it off, cleaning it completely underneath, and sealing over the area. We somehow acquired a small leak up front, so I figured that was a good place to test out the sealant in a small area before applying it to the whole roof. This time, I tried out the smaller bucket of the whole roof sealant in a target area to learn how to apply it, how to prep for it, and see how well it works. In a previous review, I applied and tested the Stop Leak Silicone, which has worked well. I received some products from Henry, namely Tropi-Cool Roof Sealant Products.
