If ur going to get leaks while nailing shingles over 15/30 lb felt then why would ppl still be using them? I never heard of this before.

Thanks for the comment! The video stated roofing underlayment is not waterproof and when the shingles go on they essentially ruin the water resistance of underlayment - not that using 15 & 30 lbs felt cause leaks. Once the shingles go on you're relying on them to keep the water out - not the felt.
