I have used the black ashpalt roof patch compound that you can buy at
Home Depot, it is thick, sticks good and looks about right and doesn't
need to be hot. You can put it on with a brush or trowel or strip of
wood and can be thinned with varsol. Takes a couple of days to dry but
stays flexible for a long time.
