I have in the past! About the fish anyway!

I would like to see it installed myself.

I have used the self adhering underlayments in a few instances (manu escapes me at moment) dating to 2001 or so, on new I like some of these products.

I have also used SBS type self adhering cap sheets with 0 callbacks in 8 years. I wouldn't dream of using this stuff on anything except new.

I think some of the synth type underlayments for Tile, Metal etc.. roofs is going to be the way to go in years to come. Only to say that as how many times have we all seen 30lb felt being the culprit on a 15 year old house that is having all it's tile restacked and sheathing is being repapered. Tile and Concrete roofs are outlasting the underlayments is all.

Will look a lil more at this one
