I'm aware of that... but the slopped-up area is on the far side of the caulk bead from the TPO, so I don't have to touch the TPO at all to clean it. I'm just rubbing a metal channel and the vinyl screw cover strip. If for some reason the spirits cause long-term damage to the screw strip, well, I still have another half roll in stock. And so far nobody has suggested an alternative solvent for the caulk.
I cleaned up all the slop successfully yesterday with mineral spirits. Today I'll be tackling caulking the other side, and yes, I'll be using the blue tape this time. I shouldn't manage to slop any more, though it's comforting to know that about 70% of this job is going to be behind the awning roll where it won't be visible anyway.
