1. Black Jack Roof Felt Adhesive is a cold applied, black oxidised bitumen based adhesive used to bond roofing felt to itself, concrete, asphalt, metal, wood and similar surfaces. Also suitable for use as a cold gritting solution.
2. Black Jack Roof Felt Adhesive should be brush or mop applied to the surface and left “open” for 15 to 30 minutes before the roofing felt is placed into the wet adhesive film carefully, rubbing or rolling each section down to ensure maximum contact with the adhesive and ensuring that all air has been excluded.
3. IKOpro High Performance Roofing Felt Adhesive is a cold-applied bitumen adhesive for bonding and sealing roofing felts. It is a bitumen adhesive which enables total bonding of roofing felts without the need for hot bitumen or flames. It is also ideal for sealing lap joints and for fixing chippings to the final layer for a built-up system.

I'm putting up a shed this week. In the past I've nailed the roofing felt to the roof as recommended and instructed in the manual.

Shop roofing felt adhesive at B&Q. Roof felt adhesive is essential for any roof repair job that involves the bonding together of felts. Click & Collect available.

Clearly this creates entry points into the timber (the timber is usually OSB which is glue on wood - so I suppose the glue will probably stop damp from setting in.
In any case I decided to set it up so the roof lasts a bit longer.
Was curious if I need to use the glue AND reinforce with pins or is glue alone sufficient?
Again, it will be roofing felt on OSB which comprises of wood AND glue. So not sure if roofing felt will adhere properly.

Black Jack Roof Felt Adhesive Instructions Mounting

Can I use this on rubber roofing?

Some rubber roofing materials require special cements and coatings manufactured for use on these materials alone. Check with the manufacturer if you are not sure.

Can new built-up roofs be coated with aluminum coatings sooner than the recommended 90 to 180 days weathering period?

If an aluminum surface roof coating must be applied sooner to a new built-up roof, a water based emulsion coating should be used instead of a solvent-based asphalt coating. An emulsion coating will provide a firm base on which to apply the aluminum coating 5 to 10 days after the emulsion has cured.

How do I clean up a spilled Black Jack product?

How soon can I coat a newly installed built-up roof with an aluminum roof coating?

New asphalt built-up roof (BUR) surfaces should weather a minimum of 90 to 180 days prior to coating with Black Jack aluminum roof coatings.

What effect does ponded water have on aluminum roof coatings?

Aluminum coatings do not perform well on roofs that pond water. Dirt can accumulate in depressions and inhibit the reflectance of the coating. If an aluminum coating is under water for a prolonged period of time, the water may work its way under the coating causing it to peel. Positive drainage is needed to flush away surface dirt and retain the reflective properties of the aluminum coating.

What factors can reduce the reflectivity and long-term durability of aluminum coatings?

Before Application: Poor Drainage, poor surface preparation, or improper mixing.
