Hi
Over the weekend I have built a a timber roof and laid felt on it, I used a Wickes Roofing Felt adhesive and felt that was compatible for the adhesive. I assumed that the adhesive would stick like glue and this morning when I went up there to check it out I nearly slipped off the roof as the section of felt I was standing on slid down with my weight on it.
So I assumed it was down to the wood absorbing the adhesive, I went back to Wickes and got some more adhesive and felt and basically started again, this time I had a base coat of the adhesive on the wood so there was no chance of the wood absorbing the adhesive.
Some hours later I had another look at the roof and the felt still isn't stuck like I thought it would (like glue) its tacky but I wonder if I climb up there to fix some flashing will it slide down again.
Does anyone have any sugestions, should I be using nails as well?
