ROOFING BLISTER REPAIR DEVICES AND METHODS
In a method of repairing a blistered portion of a thermosoftening membrane, a heated air dispensing device is provided, having an elongated nozzle including at least one outlet aperture. The blistered portion of the thermosoftening membrane is pierced to form an opening sized to receive the elongated nozzle. The elongated nozzle is inserted through the opening and into an interior cavity of the blistered portion, with the interior cavity being at least partially defined by a thermosoftening material. The heated air dispensing device is operated to dispense heated air through the at least one outlet aperture into the interior cavity of the blistered portion to at least partially melt the thermosoftening material. A force is applied to an exterior surface of the blistered portion to flatten the blistered portion, thereby substantially eliminating the interior cavity.
