There are a couple of short seams that appear to have been repaired in

To be honest, I am just looking for a cheap temporary repair or fix for
now. The building needs a lot of work and it is going to be put up for
sale and sold for cheap very soon. It will be obvious and no secret to
the potential buyers that it will need a new roof. But, for now, I
would like to just get the leak sealed to get it through the winter and
into the summer while it is up for sale. The property is in Central New
Jersey.


If this is an EPDM roof it will look like an innertube. The normal
adhesive for this is a contact cement. If the surfaces have been
contaminated with other junk it might be best to get a 1 or 2 foot wide
strip and contact cement it over the bad installs.

If this is a rubberized Modified Bitumen (it will look a lot like an old
90# rolled roof) roof the normal adhesive is hot tar. There are some
cold patch materials available that will stick to it. Go to a roofing
supply house.
