Finishing Suggestions
Instructions are included along with a link to our website with more details.
Start with the lowest layer and work up. Apply a thin line of glue across the top of the shingle strip, but don’t put glue on the shingle tabs.
Remove the rectangular ridge caps from the shingle sheet. Any tab remains can be carefully removed with a gentle carving motion using a sharp razor knife, or the edges can be lightly sanded with 220 grid sandpaper. Apply glue to the back. Attach one at a time and let dry. Continue from outside to inside, finishing with a piece that covers the center.
To add depth to the roof, use the edge of a razor knife to randomly lift shingle tabs. Weather the roof with acrylic weathering chalks.
