How timely. We just had to have a situation like that repaired before we sell our house: it came up at inspection. In our case the underlying plywood was buckled and needed to be nailed down first.

Ugh - now I better get up there and look…
This is a “barn” roof, on the near-vertical panel. There’s a second-story interior wall on the other side, no easy visibility from the inside. Was the buckling visible from the outside?
It’s been awhile since I’ve stood in the caulk section of the hardware store meticulously comparing silicones, but ISTR there being roofing tar available in caulking tubes for about $7 a tube.

Yeah, Henry (bless them) has a “209 Elastomastic” product in tubes for about $7 a tube. Data Sheet".
The quick descriptions says:
Seals chimneys, skylights, turbines, roof vents, gutters and A-C units.
Repairs shingles, metals, modified roll roofing, valleys, etc.
Repairs splits, cracks, raised edges, or anywhere else on your roof where there is the possibility of leaks
SEBS rubber modified formula = maximum flexibility and longest life
Only asphalt-based sealant recommended for metal, torch down and SBS rubber roofs
Use with yellow 183 repair fabric for professional results
Apply with roofing trowel, putty knife or caulk gun
Coverage: Approximately 17 linear feet per 11 oz. tube, 12-1/2 square feet per 1 gallon pail (1/8" thick).
“Seals” used a lot, “Repair” used, but nothing that says, much, that it’ll glue shingles together. Sounds like it should work.
Does anybody have experience with something like this?
