• Quick Roll Shingle Starter rolls must be stored indoors, in a dry location.
• The rolls must be protected from the elements. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
• Store rolls at room temperature. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures may reduce the adhesive characteristics of the material.

• Install Quick Roll Shingle Starter only when material interface temperatures (air, deck, material) are 40°F and rising.
• Do not install when any form of moisture such as water, ice, snow, dew, rain, etc. is present.
• Use of a hand-held “hot air gun” might help in enhancing the adhesion during application of underlayment in cooler weather.
• Quick Roll Shingle Starter must be covered with a finished roof covering within the specified exposure time of the product. Refer to the section on Features and Benefits for exposure time.

Surface Preparation

• Surface must be clean, dry, and without voids, that may interfere with adhesion.
• For re-roofing, all old roofing and other loose materials must be removed prior to installation.
• For best results, surface may be primed with an ASTM D 41 Primer before installation of Quick Roll Shingle Starter. When primer is used, ensure the primer is fully dry prior to application of Quick Roll Shingle Starter.
• Acceptable substrates for adhesion of LeakBarrier membranes can be found at the Tarco website.

Application

• Position the Self-adhering Quick Roll Shingle Starter beginning at the lowest corner of the roof where the rake and eave intersect. Align Self-adhering Quick Roll Shingle Starter so that it is parallel with the edge of the eave and extends over the eave and rake approximately 3/8" with the granular surface up and the seal tab nearest the eave.
• Carefully remove the release film from the back of the roll and apply while pressing firmly into place for good adhesion.
• Apply shingles per shingle manufacturer’s application instructions.
