Interesting ideas...
I think the idea of using old shingles would work just fine and
build the dent up faster then the fiberglass screen.
I will forever regret using the word "expert"...
Thanks!


Red does joke a bit.

At least put some roof cement down and between the layers.




Where the half ass repair came from:

On one of those NC HUD-Wrecks I redid, there was some sagging in an area of
a regular plywood and shingle roof. I had to square it away. Pulled
shingles off and below that was a valley full of shingles used to build it
up to hide the evidence. When the fillers were removed the edges of some of
the plywood were damn near off the truss. Yea, I fixed it with new
sheathing. Didn't just add some more in.

At least put some roof cement down and between the layers.


Yea, don't wanna see a spot rising like some huge boil on a hot day when
the air between the layers expands.
