I've got a slate roof with some slates missing. It needs properly

how to attach it? I think there's about one lath showing.

Flashband. You might need a heatgun this weather to warm it up to
make it stick. Sticks like **** to a blanket.

Just a thought. Be sure to tuck top side if the tape under a slate.
Prevents the snow from "rolling" it off as it slides down.
