Replace and blend damaged shakes and shingles Replace all broken or missing shakes, shingles and ridge capping. Trim the replacement to the width of the removed shake or shingle. New replacements can be made to blend in with the rest of the roof by dipping or spraying them with a 50% solution of baking soda and water. Dissolve 1 lb (2.2 kg) of baking soda in 1/2 gallon (2 litres) of water. The shakes or shingles will turn a weathered gray colour after 4 or 5 hours in sunlight. This is a permanent chemical reaction. Replacing Damaged Shakes and Shingles 1. Lift up the shingle or shake in the course above with wood wedges. 2. Push the replacement up, then drive two 4d box nails into the shingle or shake at an angle. 3. Finally, drive the butt of the replacement shingle or shake up flush with the rest of the course.
