Roof Repair - 6/5/2006 9:06:25 AM    bearswede Posts: 2912 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline Hi Folks... Here's another repair project I just completed... Unfortunately, I forgot to take "before" photos, so I outlined the approximate damage site on another corner of the roof on my cottage ink...

RE: Roof Repair - 6/5/2006 9:14:08 AM    bearswede Posts: 2912 Joined: 9/28/2004 From: western mass Status: offline The damage consisted of a hole, approximately 1/8 inch in diameter on the rear left corner of the roof... This aqua bottle tends toward the greener shade so I had to play around with the dyes to get it right... I also had to do two applications because I did the first one before the resin had gotten to the proper thickness... I thought I had it looking good, but when I checked in a few minutes, the resin had myseriously disappeared leaving a gaping hole as before... The repair is on the left-hand side...

Let me know when you do and I'll do my best to guide you thru it... I thought it would be extremely difficult when I attempted that first one... The Cooley Bitters... But it actually was not that bad... I screwed up the shade of aqua on that one but the hole closed and looked decent after the first try... I'm really pleased with this last one, tho... My motto: No hole is better than A-hole...Ummm... Ron _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!" (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 6
