Method 2.

1. Clean the scene.
2. Pulp the knife bubble with air.
3. Enter White Spirit or Kerosene.
4. Tell the appropriate size on top, fixing it on hot or cold mastic.

Method 3.

2. There are 2 perpendicular cuts on the place of savings or swollen a rolled roof - the cross should be visually.
3. Seeing the material inside the hole and the coating from the outside - this can be done using a construction dryer or gas burner.
4. Prepare a patch of suitable size.
5. Lubricate it with mastic and stick to the problem area.

Important! In order to warm up this place well, wake the mastic in several layers, making a drying break. In this case, the most convenient to apply a solution with a roller - this will ensure the smoother coating.

Method 4.
