Hi all,

Put a SIP roof on an outbuilding which has gone fine but i've also put some Waferhead screws in to fix the SIP panels down which i'm going to put a rubber roof on and the screws are slightly raised and i'm reluctant to further screw them in as they might rip the top OSB board and also there is a slight dis-jointment on some of the joins so as an idea i was thinking of then either covering them with something like a small bit of gaffer tape (but then those small bits won't glue down as well ) or possibly putting a thin layer of plywood or OSB down on top like 3mm ply to "skim" the top ?
My thought as well is that if i were to put another layer of wood on top to smooth it over that i could then sandwich a sheet of plastic/visqueen between them to add an extra layer of protection ?
Any thoughts on this ?
Thanks
 
"sandwich a sheet of plastic/visqueen between them to add an extra layer of protection"

Not sure what the point of the poly sheet would be. Are you expecting your rubber roof to leak?
I would advise just one ply layer to flatten and roof finish over.
 
Yeah, thanks...not "expecting" the rubber to leak but always thinking "while i'm there" kind of thing. :) ....thanks i'll grab some thin ply to finish it over
