Precautionary Note

The manufacturer will not be responsible for problems resulting from any deviation from the recommended application instructions and the following precautions:

  • Storage: Store this product in a dry, well-ventilated area and stand upright. Do not store for extended periods over 90°F (32°C).
  • Nails must be corrosion-resistant, 11 or 12 gauge, with heads at least 3/8 inch in diameter.
  • All Fasteners must penetrate at least 3/4 inch into the wood deck or completely through plywood sheathing.

Application

  1. Align Starter Shingle Roll with eave & rake edge granular side up with seal strip closest to the outer edge of the roof. Prime drip edge with ASTM D41 primer prior to Starter Shingle Roll installation. Remove release backer and press to ensure full adhesion to the underlayment. For rake application, install drip edge first before applying. See Fig. 1. NOTE: When rolling out the starter roll, ensure the product is laying flat with no humps before pressing into place. For best results, keep the starter roll at room temperature prior to application. When the starter is used with 3 tab shingles, the installer must ensure that nails in the starter are not exposed between the cut outs of the overlaying shingle.
  2. Nails should be installed 1 inch above the sealant strip and spaced every 6 inches along the eaves.
  3. Apply shingles once Starter Shingle Roll is installed. Apply shingles according to the shingle manufacturer's instructions.
