Thank you all for the advice...
I guess I wasn't 100% clear explaining what I want to know.
I have access to two roof rafters which I will use to attach the new piece of wood with screws, so that part is not an issue. I need to know if I need to be concerned about the seam that will be created by butting two boards together. Over time the rubber roof laying over the seam seems like a bad idea. I was just going to use some sort of tape but wasn't sure what kind.
I see someone above mentioned using mesh tape and caulk. How exactly? I can see using mesh tape with some sort of dry-wall style mud but using caulk and mesh tape doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks,
Ron
