Unit 8: Dimensional Starter installation
Sorry, but you're not allowed to access this unit.
DIMENSIONAL STARTER INSTALLATION
Question #1:
What happens if you don’t cut back your first piece of starter 5⅝” or run the gable starter first?
You’ll waste material
Your first course of shingles will end up seam-on-seam with the starter in the keyways
Water will leak through the eave
The ridge vent won’t align
Question #2:
How much overhang should your starter strip have and what’s a good reference for that?
1 inch, use a pencil
About ½” — use your first knuckle on your pointer finger
⅛”, measure with tape
Flush with the drip edge
Question #3:
Where should starter strips be nailed?
Just behind the glue strip on the starter strip
Anywhere on the back edge
Right at the front of the strip
At a 45° angle through the shingle
