WHEN MIXING PRODUCT: Always ensure the overlap between shingles is never less than 5” by checking
and measuring below and above the transition course. Check your seams to ensure it is never less than 5”, then
make the appropriate periodic cuts on your transition course.
First Course: Begin first full shingle at lower left rake of roof or right of vertical chalk line and continue course
across roof with full shingles laid flush with starter course and fastened with 4 nails, placed as specified. Note:
an optional band of asphalt plastic cement meeting ASTM D-4586 may be applied to the rake of the roof with
each shingle course to enhance wind resistance and to resist wind driven rain infiltration. See Diagram #5.
