My approach was to drive a short length of roofing cement coated wooden dowel (purchased at any hardware store) into the hole so that the top of the dowel was recessed about 1/4" below the roof surface. I then filled the space above the dowel with more roofing cement. I've had no problems whatever with this kind of patch. 73 Bob Karz K2OID
