I have some roofing singles that have been blown loose. They flap in the wind.
Suggestion? I can fix and design electronic circuits but roofing is new to me.

don't they make some glue for that sort of thing as long as it's still partially attached?

I had that problem on a roof that was maybe 3 or 4 years old. Just got a tube of clear caulking, lifted the edge that was supposed to be stuck down, ran a bead across it and smashed it back down. Never moved again in the wind storms. Like mentioned above, as long as it is not ripped off and is still attached, but loose, you can "glue" it back down. They also make a roofing tar you can use, sorta like what they put on nails when they install roof vents, etc.

Roofing cement. It comes in a can or a tube like caulk. If the shingle is torn, I'd pick up a bundle and replace it. It's not hard. Stay off the peaks and valleys while you're up there unless you want to create bigger problems.

Little roof cement, lay back down flat, problem solved.
