You are right on the sealing of the shingle, Heat does make the shingle seal to each other sooner, But when I did shingling years ago, I found there was no problem in this area. I do recommend buying a good grade of shingles and have taken a liking to the architectural shingles shthat I had installed on my house when I had it built a few years back. Plus went building my pole barn I and a friend installed them on the barn roof.

Hi RJ, I wasn't aware of that issue. My concern is that the under part of the shingle won't be able to adhere to the top part of the shingle below it. Isn't there a tar substance that is suppose to stick to the top of the shingle, thereby sealing the shingles together? I believe this is suppose to happen because of the heat.
