[QUOTE="Larel, post: 5523494, member: 5815"] I have been repairing both Big 6 and 3" profile roofs at home over the last couple of nights. The sheets in question have cracks along the bottom of the corrugation. As mentioned already in other threads, those that are cracked at the top of a corrugation don't tend to let in any water, or certainly not enough to warrant fixing. But I have a number of sheets with cracks along the bottom of the corrugation letting in a lot of water. I bought a couple of sheets of clear skylights, (they were called Vistalux) I cut them with the grinder into strips of one corrugation. I then slid the strip between the cracked sheet and the purlin, extending it all the way down over the wall and into the gutter, in the case of bottom sheets, and down over the top of the adjacent sheet in the case of upper sheets. Maybe I should include this in the bodges and quick fixes thread as well! So far it looks like it has dried up my shed without me having to disturb any asbestos, and when chopped up, one skylight can be used to fix a few sheets. [/QUOTE]
