Hi

So has anybody tossed a bunch of shingles and tar paper in the microwave to
see what happens yet?

Putting the paper down doesn't hurt, so I always do it, but you would
have to do a really lousy job for it to help.  The only time I can see
it really helping, after the shingles are on, is if you have a massive
tear off due to a storm.

I frequently leave a new roof in tar paper for several weeks before I
can schedule time to put the shingles on.  That is the real use for
tar paper in roofing.

I never use the lines on the paper.  I layout the roof myself,
using a chalk line to mark out the courses.
