Reply to comment by threebicks in Mortar for installing Schluter Ditra to concrete with vinyl flooring glue still mostly present? by Zenit_IIfx

Crazy thing is there was no vented bath fan, only a ventless fan. The builder stupidly ran the main HVAC plenum in a way that blocks outside access from this bathroom, but I found an alternate route out and am retrofitting a new fan.

Ventless fan is useless for anything except muffling noises.

Be careful with using a bathroom ventilation fan to vent out dust if you are sanding/grinding the remnants of the glue off. Those fans are really only designed to take humidity at most out of the room. The dust particles from this would be super sticky & gunk up the fan, those things are not generally designed to be easily cleaned besides just the cover, and you could blow the motor out pretty quickly if it gets too gunked up.
