Never done any roofing before that will become obvious.
New shed, single pitch roof around 4x3m using osb3 sheets. Angle is perhaps 1 in 6ish i think.
Thing is I have a cylinder of oxidized bitumen in the garage from an unrelated project years ago, presuming i can avoid hurting myself i was thinking about melting it down and just spreading it around the roof. I'm assuming I could spread it out and roll felt onto it, just like a slightly more dangerous version of using the cold stuff in tins to stick it down? Or i suppose the end result is like torch on stuff, but I don't have a big roofing torch. Or let it cool/set and then nail on top as usual?
I've never seen this discussed before so I'm confident it's a terrible idea, if someone could explain why I'd appreciate it.
