The company I work for just started doing Rhinobond about eight months ago. Now besides keeping a rag with me to wipe the magnets I also keep a brush with me to brush off any debris from the membrane and I have noticed the smallest specks can leave a impression in the membrane. I even used a blower first then brush next anything I see but sometimes the debris can be a lighter color and wearing tinted safety glasses I still miss specks. New construction is not as bad but when we have to do a tear off and re roof TPO that's when it's the worst. I also noticed early morning dew on the roof leaves black marks were the plates are as most guys will use the magnets and give a lite kick to mark the plates they have a hard time seeing. I won't do this because I feel it makes the quality of work look poor. Any help on the specks of debris that leave tiny pick marks in the membrane would be greatly appreciated. I work in the desert area so we get a lot of blowing dust is my main problem. Proud Roofer in Az.
You probably have it dialed it in by now hopefully but as a Minnesotan roofer that doesn't even do this type of work anymore (I'll chime in). I went the BUR education the last few years to become more rounded though I've done plenty of rhino bond. I recommend getting all the rhino bonding done daily or using a backpack blower to remove as much debris for a start. Seriously if you have iron workers doing work around you those magnets will pick up on any shavings and will compromise the roof between welds (you will burn small tiny holes) . I'm that kinda guy that will chat about work off the clock. Let's say if you're tearing off a B.U. R and tracking any tar on the new TPO , or PVC system (the tar will burn holes, as well). I recommend swapping boots and using those stupid booties that the medical field use in clean rooms.

I was always told the magnets must stay on the play for 60 seconds. after the weld. but here the number 5 and 6 welds are only on for approximately 30 seconds.
Hi Oscar. The system manufacturers have a detail for RhinoBond base attachment at the perimeter of a roof. Plates are positioned 3.5 inches away from edge within Center spacing coming from the system manufacturer. Thank you for your question.
