If you want to secure roofing felt, do it by nailing battens on top.

Paint the underside of the battens with bitumous paint and nailon while wet.

I've seen the results of that, so would not recommend it. Perhaps in severe wind areas where risk of rip-off exceeds risk of the batten nails splitting the felt.


It's normal practice.

Yes, and where it's not needed it causes roofing failures. Stick to high wind areas.
