   This works for me.

   Work when it's cool and not in the sun.  There is a small window where the shingle will not be too brittle nor the adhesive too soft.    I use a Hyde flat bar and spread out the lift a little at a time. 

   For nail removal I get under the shingle at the nail with a wonderbar.  Prying up enough to then get the bar under nail only.

   Thermal Window for Architectural Shingles

   Calvin,

   Thanks for the reply.

   I did roofing with 3-tab and cedar shakes in Colorado 20 years ago so I'm somewhat familiar with the temperature issues. The adhesion on these architecturals are really something. My recollection of the 3-tab was that they lifted easier than what I am experiencing now.

   Here in Charlotte the temps start in the high 60's at 6:30 AM and go to 80 plus in 2 hours. I'll try first thing in the AM.

   regards,

   Mark

   Remember Mark

   To get under the real shingle, not the add on layer.
