Re: Pre-dipping Shingles
Probably around 6000 clothes pins should do it at 1 per shake.
3000 feet of line.

Re: Pre-dipping Shingles
here's my problem. Very good customer of mine wants to reside. Approx 1/2 of the house was redone 6 years ago after a fire. We will be powerwashing and staining this part. The other 1/2 will get stripped and reshingled with prestained. She picked a color and we had the company send a sample dip. It looks nothing like the sample from the lumber yard. long story short it would match

Re: Pre-dipping Shingles
Lay out chicken wire and run a sheet of metal underneath to drain the drips back into a catch pan. If you have a few tables of chicken wire laid out you can really go to town.
