    Repairing a small leak in garage roof

    you need to be pretty careful what you use. It's no good using anything rubber as the oils in the felt/bitumen that is sticking your gravel down will just eat through it once it warms up. If you intend to keep the roof and just patch it cheaply, some sort of bitumen paint will do the job so long...

I used PVC sure edge trims around the outside but it's...
