If someone come to my house, and wanted to use cold, i would think, why use that, he must be a diyer, and pro dont use cold!! In a week you could do 5 single garages strip, felt 3 layers, apply grit and get £400 profit on each, I bet there is a diff with cold?

Never known a pro do it that way, must be messy and expensive, torch on is mainly used by cowboys, and hot bitumen is the only way to do a decent job. Why dont you use hot bitumen, set up for £500 all the gear, Need a good teacher though, as not many can do it right.
