Just go ahead and fix it as best you know how. Then if your repair work
later has problems, you can always do it over and make changes/improvements.
This is how I learn to do these things. I do something once and might not do
it exactly right or may have considered something like a bit of a slope so
rain water will drain out or whatever. Then when I fix it the second time,
the repair is just right!
