Fixing down the roof.

The rubber liner had been stretched over the roof for over 2 weeks. We rolled it up around a length of timber and wiped it clean with a cloth.
We then swept the roof down with a brush and positioned the liner at one end. I had bought a big tin of felt adhesive which we spread thickly in front the liner as it was carefully unrolled across the roof. All the time I was smoothing it down onto the OSB and pasting on more adhesive.
After I got to the end we went around the edge of the roof and pulled the liner down and tacked it under with roofing tacks. The corners were cut and tucked in neatly.
Finally the edge was held with lengths of roofing lat screwed back up to the 2x2. This made a solid edge to the roof.
