Eternabond tape CAN be removed if necessary. Here is a demonstration of the easiest and quickest way I’ve found to remove eternabond tape from your RV roof. I’ve done it several times and this method works the best.
** I always have a roll of Eternabond on hand, you should too **

MORE ABOUT REMOVING ETERNABOND TAPE
(Read the full article here: rvwithtito.com/articles/how-to...)
Eternabond tape is used by RV, travel trailer, and camper van owners to repair leaks and seal roof openings, roof seams, window seams and storage compartments. The sticky material creates a watertight seal.
I have also used Eternabond to securely mount flexible solar panels, antenna mounts and electrical boxes to the roof of my RV. It holds securely and can be a viable alternative to drilling holes and screws into your RV roof.
There are times, when you may need to partially or completely remove the Eternabond tape. I have tried several techniques and chemicals to do this.
Here are the steps I follow to remove Eternabond tape:
1. Heat the eternabond tape with a hair dryer or heat gun to soften it up
2. Tear back the outer coating of the tape
3. Use a utility knife to cut back the stringy sticky material as you pull off the outer coating
4. Heat up the remaining stick material with the hair dryer
5. Scrape as much of the stick material away with a plastic scraper (be careful not to puncture the surface of your roof)
6. Apply turpentine to a rag and wipe away the remaining residue

Excellent. Great demo, thank you Tito. A word of caution to you married men out there: The Rusk hair dryer is a special ionized hair dryer that runs $60 - $160 plus tax. If you think this is not worth it, try using a cheap hair dryer and watch how your hair flies with static electricity. They also die young. The Wagner heat gun costs $22 and delivers much more heat than air. If you value your marriage, use that instead. If my husband used my pricey hair dryer, it would feel to me, like I used his Mercedes for construction work. The marriage will be on rocky ground and you would be in the dog house for a while living on fast food.

Between scraping and solvent, use duct tape. Press the duct tape down on the EB residue and pull straight back off. The duct tape will lift off a lot of the EB residue. Use fresh duct tape as needed. The duct tape method really helps on rough surfaces and even fabrics and carpet. I was able to remove some EB “sticky stuff” from my carpet.

Gorilla tape worked great ! I used it on the door panel of a car with a textured surface warming it with a hair dryer on low setting then 'plucking' the residue off with Gorilla tape. It all came off easily with no need for a solvent. It was perfectly clean. Thanks for the video and thanks for the useful comments about using duct tape. Job done and no mess.

About cleaning the residue - one thing you didn't mention is that petroleum distillates should absolutely not be used on TPO roofs, as it will basically destroy it. So gasoline is absolutely a no-no. I was surprised that the Eternabond web site, which suggests the same techniques as you do (loosen with heat, etc.) they also don't mention the dangers of using certain solvents on RV roofing materials.

Eterna bond in the 1 foot wide 50 foot roll is about to become a close friend to our very corroded aluminum roof. I know its a temp fix and will lock in moisture, but the 82 over hang needs a complete rebuild in the near future, but I just retired and would like to find the rolled aluminum before I start. lol

About a dozen years ago I put Eternabond Tape over all the seams on the roof of my RV and now the plastic top is delaminating from the adhesive/sealing stuff. I was careful to super clean the surfaces before applying the tape and it is still solidly stuck onto the places I put it. For a bit of background, the roof on my RV is aircraft aluminum, not fiberglass or the rubberized stuff. Based on my observations, I wouldn't use Eternabond as my primary joint sealer for the roof of my RV. Instead, I'd go with self leveling lap sealer and then after that has completely cured apply Eternabond or an equivalent product. As a final thought: A hair dryer might be okay for softening up this tape on clear plastic - I found that I needed to use my heat gun on its highest setting along with a metal putty knife to take up the majority of the Eternabond tape. I needed to replace a roof vent and this is what I found that worked best for me. Cheers.

You've really confused me by first saying you take the stuff off with gas but later saying you used it to patch a gas leak. How can that be?

I wondered if someone would pick up on that. Thumbs up for paying attention 👍You're right, the Eternabond was not the best option for that repair and was starting to loose it's effectiveness after a couple weeks. It's all I had on hand. I literally patched it at a rest stop.

Haven't tried that. Thanks. Is MEK primarily acetone?

Not sure. But when removing old "baked on" vinyl decals, it helped with the underlying goo glue, making it easier to remove. I used it when nothing else was working to remove these really old decals.

How would you remove silicone from around a window?

I think that depends on whether you're simply resealing it, or removing the window. To reseal, I usually cut the bulk away with a sharp utility knife so I have a nice smooth surface to reseal.

Do you think WD40 could have worked on last step? Great video thanks for your time.

Wouldn't WD40 leave an oil residue? What if you want to replace the tape with new tape. Probably wouldn't stick? I've used acetone and it worked great! But be careful on painted surfaces not to use too much. Try to get as much tape off with hair dryer and scrapper as possible. Best way is to heat and scrape. Most will come off that way

WD40 does work good for goo/sticky removal, but I haven't used it for this. It would probably work though. Plus, a can of turpentine or mineral spirits will go a lot further for around $3.

I haven't used it for this. I typically use it to clean the surface before applying the Eternabond though. If I do another test, then I'll try it out.

I would say goo gone or goof off would remove remaining sticky residue.
Another Eternabond Failure?
