Re felting my shed roof.

All finished...looking grand then stood on a discarded roofing nail that was UNDER the felt...bugger !!

Good boots prevented any physical damage..but the felt now has a hole in it.

Any way of sealing this to prevent a leak ?

DO NOT USE SILICON it reacts badly with the bitumen in the felt and will fail .

B&Q have small tins of bitumen felt adhesive for jobs like this so why not use the right stuff for the job
