I had a synthetic rubber roof put on the shop a few years ago. The roofer neglected to tell me he had never done one before and got a lot of wrinkles in the first sheet. It still kept the rain out, so it was not that big a deal, but now a raccoon is eating the tops off the wrinkles. Why, I have no idea, but there are many tooth marks and raccoon tracks around them. The roofing supplier has two types of glue, one for fastening the rubber down to the sheeting and another for sealing seams where the sheets overlap. The explanation for the two is that the first will not hold under water, but does a better job in the middle of a sheet where water is kept away. I saved some of the left over rubber and seam glue for patching, which I really need now. The problem is that the glue sticks when I apply it, but a few months later lets go and the leaks return. There has to be a better way.
