The felt on my garage roof has cracked where it folds at the edge of
the roof. I believe it is possible to patch a new piece of felt over
the crack. Can anyone recommend the best "sticky stuff" to make a water
proof patch without resorting to hot bitumen.

Thanks Mike

I did just that myself; and you can buy that gravel-textured roofing
felt in rolls about 12" wide which is perfect for the job. (Both
bitumen and felt were from Wickes).

Use some Flashband, a tube of silicone, or something like Acropol
