Surface Preparation
1. Straighten damaged rail and replace sections where
required.

3. Weld and fl at fi nish any torn areas.
4. Scuff all mating surfaces using an angle grinder with
a 36-grit Roloc™ wheel or equivalent.
5. Blown away debris with an air gun. Be sure that the
air does not have any oil or water in it.
Note: Do not use any cleaners after the mating
surfaces have been scuffed.
Adhesive Preparation
1. Make sure one small push pad and one large push
pad are installed on the dispensing gun.

cartridge (Stock #112B/113B) into the dispensing
gun. Squeeze a small amount of product from each
side of the cartridge to level the plungers.
3. Attach a mixing tip and dispense a small amount of
adhesive, which is about the length and width of the
mixer. Dispense until the product is evenly mixed
and the color is consistent.

• LORD Fusor 112B/113B Metal Bonding Adhesive
(Slow) (approx. 12 to 14 adhesive cartridges are
required for a 53-foot trailer)
• LORD Fusor 304 Pneumatic Dispensing Gun
Roof Panel Installation
1. Raise the new roof material into position with a
forklift.
2. Unroll roof material the length of the trailer, working
from the rear of the trailer forward.
3. Align the new roof panel so that one side is fl ush to
the edge along the entire length of the trailer.
4. Clamp the fl ush side. Trim the opposite side using
an air nibbler so that it is fl ush to the edge along
entire length of the trailer.
5. Unclamp and raise roof material. Grind both sides
of roof material along all mating surfaces using an
angle grinder with 36-grit wheel.
6. Grind the mating surface of the J-molding, equal to
the length of the trailer on both sides.
7. Blow mating surfaces clean of all debris. Lower roof
material and secure with vise grips.
Rear Header
1. Cut roof material fl ush with back of trailer.
2. Along rear header, drill holes for buck rivets every
4-6 inches (10.2-15.2 cm).
3. Apply masking tape on underside of rear header
panel to prevent adhesive from squeezing out.
4. Lift roof material from rear header to approximately
three feet back along each side.
5. Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) bead of LORD Fusor
112B/113B metal bonding adhesive along the 3-foot
area on each side roof rail and a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
bead of adhesive along rear header.
6. Install rivets along rear header and clamp the 3-foot
area on both sides.
7. Apply approximately 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) bead of
adhesive to J-molding and install J-molding along
rear header.
Note: Some style trailers will not allow installation of
J-molding. Reinforce rear header by rivet-bonding a
piece of 1-1/2 to 2 inch (38.1-50.8 mm) aluminum fl at
stock (16 gauge or greater) to the rear header, sandwiching
the roof material.

Side Roof Rails
1. Lift remaining length of roof material. If masking
tape has not been applied to the underside of side
roof rails, do that now to prevent adhesive from
squeezing out.
Note: To reduce installation time, fabricate a
stretching mechanism that attaches to the forklift.
Once roof material is rolled out, measured and
trimmed, use the forklift to stretch and raise the roof
material.
2. Apply approximately 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) bead of
LORD Fusor 112B/113B metal bonding adhesive
along remaining length of both side roof rails.
Important: Do not apply adhesive to front header at
this time.
3. Lower roof material and stretch.
4. Apply approximately 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) bead of
LORD Fusor 112B/113B metal bonding adhesive to
previously scuffed mating surface of J-molding.
5. Install one rivet at both end of all sections of Jmolding.
This will secure the roof so that the
stretching mechanism can be released before front
header installation.
Front Header
1. Release stretching mechanism.
2. Trim roof material fl ush with front edge of trailer.
3. Apply approximately 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) bead of
LORD Fusor 112B/113B metal bonding adhesive
along front header.
4. Install J-molding along front header. If necessary,
cut "V's" in J-molding to allow for curve.
5. From inside the trailer, apply a single-component
urethane to all the roof bows.
6. For cosmetic purposes, use a dry rag to wipe
excess adhesive from the entire roof assembly.
We need to tear out a spot on our roof. How difficult is it to remove and replace roof shingles on our own?

We need a grat to replace our roof it was bad then we had a hail storm.
This depends on the age of your roof. If your roof is relatively new you may just need to replace a few shingles. If however, your roof is near it's warranty limit you should consider replacing the whole roof.
A trailer of ice
A gabled roof is the triangular portion of a wall between the edges. It is the sloping roof. Thus the type of enclosing roof the volume dictates the shape of the gable. If you built a room over the roof is not possible. So you replace the roof and raise walls and ceiling of the room and replace the roof.
It's short for "semitrailer". The entire rig is properly called a tractor-semitrailer. It's a semitrailer because it's only part of a trailer; it only has the back set of wheels (the front wheels under the cargo area are attached to the tractor, the part with the engine and the driver's cab).
it depends the constructor who fix the roof for a townhouse.

$4,000 to $8,000 depending on contractor, size of roof, and price of shingles.
Yes, as you cannot just fix one part... You have to replace it...
