Garage and is already tounge n groove, and in good con, so need to replace

It says nail the felt on a tounge n groove roof, first layer only On say a plywood you would not. Is perfrorated always need as a forst layer regards

On a tounge n groove deck, why would you nail or just do a tack coat of hot bitumen as opposed to a full layer of bitumen as you would on a plywood deck? Is it so the bitumen does not get into the grooves, and room below, or somthing else

I read you use a paste? were the green min felt joins, then cut the accesss bitumen awey, the bit that comes out the side from heating up cheers

One more thought :D Say the drips are on, cap sheet ready to go down, Measure, cut, water wash down the side, heat cap sheet, and cut access fron the egde, If i have it right? cheers

:D Thanks bendy, my brain may ache when i put all this into practise

Ie washer, Whats the best way to shift, white sprits :?: regards

Does torch on drips, seal to torch on cap sheet, if they both are green min felt? Is torch on safe to use on a timber deck? Are the drips formed, by nail to timber batton, fold, torch to fold, and torch to cap sheet? cheers

Cheers, Are the drips formed the same way, as the hot bitumen method with torch on? But were the hot would go, the torch goes? Any rec on torch on felts, I have looked at the rubberoid site, seems ok Do you use perforated on timber, first layer, I was thinking 2 or 3 layers, Mabye finish...

I want to do a garage, with either one of the above Are the drips easy to do with torch on, do you use a hand held small torch? Any ideas about the drips on coldseal? And anyone used the above, any help, or advice would be welcome I do fancy the coldseal method.

Must be the felt then letting water in someway, just seems as if the felt is dry though, suppose its a few yrs old now cheers

In the middle, the tounge n groove boards are rotten, the felt seemed ok, Heavy duty green mineral, I ripped some on top to have a feel, as i will replace anyway The top boards are rotten as well, would that just be the felt causing the prob?
