After about 30 years the shed roof needs re-felting - one side has slipped
due to the wind and sun.

Originally it was nailed with galvanised nails. Where it was nailed it has
now torn.

Is there a better way using glue nowadays?


Bitumen paint. It's cheap & works pretty well. Nailing is asking for failure.

What do you do with the bitumen paint on an old felted shed roof? Paint
over the felt? Use it to stick joins or seal nails? prime?

It's glue. Stick the felt down with it.
