Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Run starter along every eave and rake, not just the eaves, since rake edges are a common wind-uplift failure point. Install over a compatible ice-and-water membrane in cold climates and roll the adhesive firmly for full contact. Keep the roll warm and dry before application so the seal-down strips bond properly.
Use fall protection and ladder safety practices when working at roof edges, and follow the manufacturer's temperature guidelines for self-adhering products.
