I'd do it by hand, with a flatbar and hammer. It doesn't have to be
perfect. Just get the highest rocks out, then maybe the lesser ones
somewhat. Just use tar. Tom

Ok. Thanks a lot tom, I appreciate the help. Do you have any
recomendations for a type of tar I should be looking for? I am
probabaly going to need something that is fairly thick so that i can
build up a bed of it for the flange to sit on top of. At the same
time, I need something that wont leave any voids between it and the
uneven roof surface. Thanks again

The thickest type you can manage to spread. Tom

What I used to do when needing to deal with tar; buy a bucket at a home
improvement store, set up a grill, hibachi or whatever, heat it while
getting the site ready then haul it up with a rope when needed, wear
gloves & appropriate safety gear. The hot tar spreads so nicely.

That is probabaly exactly what i will do. I like the hibatchi idea,
though, so I can make my lunch too. Maybee i will just forget the
bathroom vent :) actually, would that be "trowel grade" roofing cement?
