Hi All,

My 3-year-old house has a concrete tile roof, Spanish "S" profile, red
color. There are several tiles where the corners have cracked and came
loose. The loose pieces are small, about 2" to 4" in size. I doubt if
these loose corners will result in roof leaks, so I don't see the need to
replace whole tiles. What's the best sealant to glue the corners back to
the tile? Is there a special glue or sealant for this purpose? I was
thinking about using clear silicone sealant or waterproof construction
adhesive.

Incidentally, what is the recommended way of walking on a concrete tile roof
with the Spanish profile in order to avoid cracking the tiles?

Thanx,
Key Bored

A regular epoxy adhesive would work but I'm not sure how well it stands up
to UV exposure.
