On Asphalt Shingles Do I Remove The Plastic Film Strip On Back Of Shingle?

Answer Question

    Yes you are supposed to remove the strip but a lot of roofers don't bother.  The strip is there to act as an adhesive.  Once your roof gets heated up from the sun the asphalt strip will melt down into the shingle underneath it and bond together.

      Yes, it's there just to keep them from sticking to each other while waiting to be installed.

        I'm pretty sure you do remove the plastic strip you mentioned . Just before you put it in place . That protects a tar strip  . It allows allows the shingles to form a seel .
