How To Fasten Nails Correctly On Shingles

[@DanielinLaTuna]

Thanks! No one has ever fully explained the slight deviation in nailing distance in the field nails (1, skip a bit, 2, 3, 4) as your slow video pace. I can clearly see that you are creating a nail free zone over which rainwater will flow from the joints in the next course above. One quick question: another video creator noted that the plastic strip on the glue/tar strips doesn’t need to be removed, because it “just goes away” and the shingles seal on a warm day. But I’ve seen that plastic still there on the old roof is tore off. So, does the adhesive seep through/around the strips? Or is that strip really expected to “go away?” Thanks again for your clear videos. Daniel
