Gluing roofing felt
 

Hi


I want to glue 2 strips of roofing felt where they overlap, as theyre
on a very shallow sloped roof. Is deckbond ok for this? Or less likely,
exterior no more nails type adhesives? This is for shed roof, not
house.

I realise gluing felt with a 4" overlap on a very low pitch roof is not
ideal, but I can either do this and come back and reroof in several
years, or reroof completely now, plus I've already got the bits to do
the glue job, plus access time will be tight, so the quick option makes
more sense this time.


thanks, NT

Bitumen roof felt mastic/adhesive is best for felt.

I used bitumen out of a tin, spread with a sweeping brush. Held with
galvanised clout nails. Still waterproof after many years.

You nailed the bitumen down? I'm bloody glad we don't get wind like that
round here!

You don't live in Kent then? ;-

Seriously, I just re-felted the shed after the wind ripped the entire centre
strip off - For a small shed (2.5x1.5m ish) I used 3/4 gallon of black
goop, *and* clout nails every 3" (closer at the sides of the roof). Goop is
cheap and nails are cheap, so I figured - what the hell...

Cheers
