Abstract: The apparatus 10 includes a table 12 which defines a flat top surface 14. Two spaced apart, parallel tracks 16.1, 16.2 are mounted on top of the surface 14. A first positioning arrangement 18, is displaceably mounted on top of the tracks 16. When in use, a plurality 5 of collector tubes 300 can be arranged parallel to one another on top of the frame 24 such that they extend along a displacement path 400 of the tracks 16 and are substantially perpendicular to tubes 306 and 308.

Abstract: The invention is primarily directed to a system and method of selectively repairing asphalt-based shingles having embedded granular material. The system and method of the invention also comprises the use of devices specifically designed and used to template repaired shingles and protect surrounding shingles from adhesives and a shingle frame device to aid in applying, leveling and compressing granules onto the damaged shingle. The system and method of the claimed invention comprises the steps of removal of debris from the damaged area, application of a base coat adhesive to the damaged area, embedding color-matched granules in the base coat and application of a top coat sealant that permanently bonds the repaired layers to the original roofing material.
