hi guys
i'm planning to use grace ice & water shield on a re-roof i'm going to be doing soon, and have never used the stuff before. i searched old posts & learned a bit about how to install it, but am still wondering about one thing: after you've rolled it out & adhered it to the sheathing, how do you get out onto it to install either the shingles or roofing felt that you'll be putting over it without sticking to it or messing up the adhesive? (sorry if this is a really dumb question -- i've never even seen any of it out of the box) is that where this "ripcord" release paper tearing method comes in? like perhaps you can expose just sections of the adhesive at a time while working in that area (as opposed to the entire laid-out piece having its adhesive exposed at once)? can you walk on it when the paper is still on without messing it up?
does it come on the roll with release paper on both sides or just one side?
i live in west central michigan, and was figuring on doing 2 passes of it at the eave edges & maybe a pass up the valleys.
thanks!
