This is what CRAPPY roofers do to avoid having nail head show, and will
degrade the life of your roof.


WHY?


Heat kills shingles.


Shingles lose their heat to the roof deck.


If you nail too high on the shingle, the shingle never sets right and
will eventually curl, losing its abilty to get rid of its heat,
accelerating the curling etc etc


If you nail properly, you will waste some shingle by inadvertantly
nailing too low, but you will NOT get leaks from the nails that are
below the tar strip

I can't believe the entire thread. It should have only had two
posts. The OP and a reply that said "READ THE DIRECTIONS, STUPID".
Most of the posts are on the order of 'this is what I think'. The
manufacturer knows the proper procedure and it is printed in neat
little letters on every bundle wrapper.
