Show Cement Sliingle Tabs In areas where farm buildings in exposed positions are subject to winds of demolition force, as- -r u i . i 3 " phalt shingle roofs can be -made windtight by cementing down the shingle tabs. The cement holds the tabs down so that wind cannot can-not blow underneath to lift the roofing from the roof deck. Quick-setting asphalt cement is used and can be applied with either a putty knife or a caulking gun. Place a spot of cement about the size of a 50-cent piece under the center of the exposed portion of each shingle tab and press the tab down firmly. Do not bend the tabs back farther than necessary. Use special care on sections of the roof most vulnerable to wind the eaves, the rakes and the ridge. |
