fix one broken spanish roof tile
1930s spanish roof tiles, one broken from a tree branch or something,
letting in a littl rain. Me, not entirely a newbie home repair guy, but close. Is there some halfway reasonable way to stick this back in place, or if not, what are the odds that even a roofing pro would be able to do much better? I took a tour of the local Home Depot looking for some kind of adhesive mortar, they had what I think was a 25lb box that I don't see online, but it was something like this quickcrete: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...atalogId=10053 Would something like that be appropriate? And is applying something like that really so nasty (reading the instructions) that gloves should be worn, eye protection, and sacrificial work clothes? I just need a quart or so of the stuff, after all. Or would some kind of exterior calking both stick the tile back together and hold it in place in a workable fashion for the next, oh, ten years or so? Assuming nobody is walking on it, and I don't let the tree branches grow back there either? Thanks for any and all advice. J. |
