I have a few Marley Modern tiles where the small lower corner is cracked and the piece gone. If the corner piece is there I've been using OB1 to glue it on, the damage being cosmetic which won't cause a leak.

Would it be possible to shape and mold flexim putty to make a new small corner? Or is there another product better suited for this? Thanks.

I have had success with re attaching a corner with stud resin and that aluminium mesh that you get for car body repairs. Just used on the back face only making sure its not too thick as to upset the way it joins and sits
 
A new tile is only a couple of quid.
Yes, £1.92 for Marley moderns, but I was swapping so many of them, the roof looks like a right mess with the old and new mixed. It's like crazy paving. I'll continue next summer, fed up for now, so I used OB1 and did end up changing for new ones until I ran out tiles.

£4-5 delivery in the north east, from Bish Vegas JT Dove, not too shabby, very nice value for money. Free I think if order above £50 or summin.

But I'd had enough of roofing for one year.
