Warning:

The smearing of roof cement can actually cause the steep sloped roof to leak profusely from a repaired area that was only a drip before. The reason for this is that velocity and the rapid breakdown of the muck can cause fissures that direct the water velocity like your ?finger in a water hose.? Hence, a small leak becomes a nightmare for the consumer and for the astute and caring tradesman that later has the burden to repair the problem.
