The least costly and most effective way to cure this problem is as follows:
1. Locate the leak source.
2. Clean the spot as throughly as possible with a scrub brush or broom and dish detergant.
3. Dry the area.
4. Coat the area expanding your coating 6-8" outside the leak hole.
5. Place a piece of either sheet matal, aluminum, or metal flashing over the coating, press it down firmly.
6. Place a couple of nails or screws through the metal into the roof.
7. Coat the entire piece of matal and a 3-4" area outside the metal with the roof coating.
8. Lighter fluid or gasoline will clean your hands and tools.

This repair will cost you $ 8 -10.00. The roof coating and metal can be urchased at Lowes or Home Depot.

P.S> Let the can of roof coating sit in the sun for a hour or so before using & it is better to apply the roof coating when it is warm outside, as it spreads easier.

Good luck
