Instructions for kit #71K
□
1. Shingle the Roof: Glue: Use a thick solvent-based
(not "water claean-up"!) panel adhesive available in caulk-
ing gun tubes at building supply stores. Trim just a little of
the end of the tube for a tiny hole, giving a thin bead of glue.
Always use good ventilation with solvent based adhesives.
Apply a thin line of adhesive just below the lowest guideline
all the way across one roof. Press the top edge of a Shingle
into the line of glue, squeezing out the excess Hold the first
Shingle and press another Shingle into the adhesive, tight to
the first. Hold the next Shingle and press in another... etc. all
the way across the roof, cutting the last Shingle to fit
Continue up the roof one row at a time. Start the next row
with a half Shingle so that the seam between Shingles is stag-
gered back and forth as you go up the roof. Line up the top
edge of each row (except the starters) with the guidelines.
Cut the top row of Shingles so that each row will have the
same reveal.
Cut angled shingles for the corners of the Roof. When you
glue a pair of shingles to the Roof's corner, the edge is straight
up-and-down the roof. .
For shingles on the Tower Roofs, glue the Corner pair on
first on both edges, and fill in the shingles between them, split-
ting a shingle for the narrow last space.

2. Install the Rooftops. Glue, tape, and weight the Roof-
tops to the Roofs and Tower Sides lined up in back. Support
the edge of the Rooftop that's against the Tower Side with the
Attic Divider while the glue dries.
