DIDO.1 22,259 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Roofing a shed today and a mate said he would drop me a spare roll of felt off, when it arrived a saw it was slaters felt for under roofing slates, I know its not ideal and im going to cover over it with mineral felt or rubber but will the slaters stuff last long if i just leave it? Will it stay water proof? Iv not got any free time now for a couple of weeks so i was hopeing it would be ok? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
