I used paint thinner to remove paint from ashpalt shingles. How do I remove the stain it left behind?

Question

I spilled oil based paint on my shingles and used paint thinner to remove it and now there is a wet mark where I used the paint thinner. What can I use to remove the paint thinner from the shingles.

Answer 1

The paint thinner has dissolved the asphalt in the shingles and damaged them.

You can replace the damaged areas or have your whole roof re-shingled if there is not an old layer already under the current shingle layer.

Replacing just the damaged sections is the easiest and cheapest option.

Answer 2

You wont be able to remove it..the shingles are an asphault base and the thinner literally ate the top layer  of asphalt..it has now "leached"..

Answer 3

Both happenings are not a good move.  Nothing you can do but maybe replace the shingles that are damaged.   good luck.
