Mess-free finger painting
I squirted two primary colours into each of the three Ziplock freezer bags, put a white piece of paper under them, and taped the whole thing down with painter's tape. Then I let the eager boys have at it!
They first experimented with each bag to see what new colour was made when mixing the two primary colours together. Then they drew pictures, made handprints, and drove their cars over the paint to see the tire tracks. Turns out cars aren't exactly gentle on the bags. After a couple quick repairs with masking tape, the cars were parked for the rest of the activity.
Next time I will make sure I get all of the extra air out of the bags before taping them down. A couple of the bags had air bubbles in them, which were much harder to remove once the paint was spread throughout the bag. Painting worked much better with the air bubbles removed.
We kept the bags taped to the table all week, removing them only when we had company coming for dinner. Now I have them tucked away, ready to be brought out and reused again at a later time. In the meantime, good old fashioned finger painting is still a very popular way to pass an afternoon!

I freak about the mess of finger painting & trying to get my LO clean before she can paint anything extra around the house. THIS is brilliant! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteRepliesI have a small daycare in my home.and I love this idea. I just need to know, do you put the paper inside the bag?
DeleteI put the paper on the table, underneath the bag. It just provides better contrast for the paint.

it's good for sometimes when a mess is completely out. Kids should be able to feel the paint on their hands in school without fear of getting hands dirty. Let them experience this without bags at times...like making mudpies, same sensation.Now sand is a whole nother things..outside please. Cornstarch works well inside and cleans up alot easier than sand.
Delete And that is why you can see, Anon, that we also do messy finger painting in the last picture of this post. Both forms are equally valid - and very different! - sensory experiences. Variety is always to be desired when it comes to sensory play, and sometimes mess-free is just a bonus!
I LOVE this idea! Thanks so much for sharing. Thinking about all the other possible things to put inside. Sand drawing without sand all over the floor anyone? :-)
ReplyDeleteRepliesIntriguing idea! I wonder if double-bagging it would be enough to keep the sand from ripping holes in the Ziplocks. It didn't take the car wheels long at all to tear little holes in the bags!
DeleteGlitter bags! I have girls and mixing glitter colors would be HUGE here!
Deleteor glitter mixed with clear hair gel.. or colored hair gel for that matter..

I'm totally Pinter-stalking you now ;-)
Thanks for sharing this! It's an awesome idea...especially if you have a toddler who thinks splashing is the best thing EVER! Thanks for linking this up on simple organic! This will be a perfect "while Mama cooks dinner" activity. I love the idea to just leave it on the table for awhile.
ReplyDeleteRepliesAn easy way to clean up from traditional finger painting is to allow them to continue to finger paint...with shaving cream. This is even less messier, though...love it! :)
DeleteI've been meaning to try that for a while. Thanks for the reminder!

Just be careful about adding food coloring to the shaving cream...my mom did that when I was little, and I looked like a blue smurf for a couple of days....

the shaving cream is WONDERFUL! It is fun for the kids and great for mom. It cleans your table while they play and when you clean up, your table will be super shiny and very clean. Great way to "spruce up" the dining room table. :)

I've seen a suggestion for finger painting with pudding. At least it's edible (for the littlest ones!). :) I love this idea of no-mess though... and color mixing. Will definitely try it! :)

Shaving cream play in the bathtub is even easier, just turn on the faucet and clean everything(and everyone) at once.

The paper is under the bag on the table. It just provides some contrast to make the paint mixing easier to see. :)
DeleteI'm glad u asked this question Stephanie cuz I was a little confused about that and would have totally put the paper in the bad if I didn't know better lol
Delete- AnonymousJune 19, 2012 6:57 pm
have you tried taping the bag to a window or sliding glass door? I did that today. :-)
Delete im sad my kids just tore it up with their fingernails and ended up with real finger painting, maybe when they are a little older. oh well.
love this idea. thank you!! i'm constantly looking for new ways to entertain my toddler in these cold months. i'm blogging about my preschool ideas too, if you're ever interested.

Did this with my 3 year old. Either i put to much paint or it was too thick. Colors didnt blend well and we couldnt see the white of paper under his finger marks so he pressed harder and harder using his nails. I was affraid he would tear the ziplock bag so we stopped. We tried again and use whipped cream and food coloring just so he can make colors. That was the best part!
ReplyDelete Wonder if this would work in a preschool setting with 16 sets of busy hands curious about color mixing...What the heck, worth a shot anyway. Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

We do this in a toddler classroom with 10-12 toddlers. we put shaving cream with different colored paints to mix. It works out great. Just be sure to tape the bags to the table so if the bag would break you don't get paint everywhere.

I am a prek teacher and thought the idea was great! I did this with my preschoolers this week and they loved it. I put it in my art center. I can't wait to try it with my daughter.
ReplyDelete This idea is GENIUS! I was painting with my toddler today: the painting bit was massive fun, but the clean-up once she's bored and wants to wander off & do somthing else was immensely stressful ~ trying to get her clean & get all the paint & brushes away before it gets smeared all over the house / eaten by the baby is a race against time. I am absolutely doing this next time instead.
ReplyDeleteI tried this with my kids today and used sandwich size bag and was able to tape 2 of them to a plastic place mat. So we have them all ready to go whenever they want, but I can still put them away.

LOVE this idea! I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old, and the 2 year old hates to get messy but loves to paint with her big brother. He LOVES fingerpainting! This could allow her to do the same thing he's doing without the mess! Thank you!

I LOVE this idea, and can't wait to try it out with my boys!!!
ReplyDelete This is great. Someone mentioned other things, which has me thinking, what about some kind of oil/glitter/small shaped confetti thing? It would be like a disco party in a bag!! I think I will set this up for the kiddos tomorrow and experiment with the other idea by myself, in case it fails, or explodes.
Thanks again!RepliesThat sounds so fun! Let us know how it works out for you!

The glitter would be "eaten alive" by the tempera paint, and wouldn't show up as glitter. You would be able, however, to feel the grittiness while "painting" through the bag.
Delete I teach pre-k and we have done these with hair gel and glitter. They are beautiful. If you use the light blue hair gel it looks like the ocean. We put little fish shaped confetti in it and it was fun. :o)

Thank you for this! My son HATES getting his hands dirty from paint, but I reckon he'll think this is the bee's knees!
ReplyDelete I just saw your idea on another blog. This is a great option for my son, who is the one who doesn't like to fingerpaint. He'd rather just paint his whole body, LOL. I love your profile pic with the babywearing. I miss that stage so much. All my beautiful carriers are stored in the closet!
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial! I did this with my kids tonight and posted the results on my blog with a link back to you. Please let me know if this is okay. You have a wonderful blog! I made some tweaks to my version - made it portable with a place mat and taped it up just a tad different on the zipper part. Looking forward to reading more of your blog!

Sounds like a good idea, but be prepared for both sides of your paper to be painted!!

you could fold all four corners to the center. Place the paper in the bag and paint. When you are finished painting, take the paper out of the bag and unfold. The inside should be paint free. Worth a shot to try. :)

We do this in our home but instead of taping the thing to the table, I tape the bag to the paper. I use a bright green backing paper and one contrasting paint inside the bag. You can take it anywhere now (great for car rides!). You can also add a layer of cardboard behind the paper too to add stiffness.

For those of you looking to make a record of the art work you can cut the bag so you can fold it open when finished then tape it up tightly you can open it up and lay paper over it to make a print. Another option is digital photography that way you can record more than one creation with the same materials. Then you can print onto plain/coloured/textured/photo paper or display on a digital photo frame this has the added benifit of being able to display lots of creations without them becoming floor to ceiling wallpaper.
ReplyDelete Wow ! Thank you so much for the inspiration you have provided me with! I sat down and did this with my 20 month old this morning and she LOVED it. We started out with just one colour as I wanted to use it as an intro to the colour red. We then looked at the marks that different red object made on the paint board such as a red car, red fork, red block etc
Brilliant. I will use this idea again and again. I have posted about it on my blog and referenced your site. Here's a link if you're interested ://non-nativebilingualadventure.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/sensory-play.html
Thanks againOkay. So maybe I am just tired. But you out the paper down on the table. Put paint inside ziplock bags but don't seal them and then tape everything down and allow them to press in the bags to make secondary colors? What is overtop? Syran wrap?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Want to use this as an alphabet or name practice station in September with my Kindergarteners. This will be much easier to manage as I don't have an aide in the classroom. The kids will have fun with the paint and I won't have all the stress of the clean up. I also liked the suggestion someone made of having it on plastic placemats so the set up will be easy as well.

you could tape it to a clip board or something and bring it in the car for long car rides

At first I thought you put the paper on the table, then a few pools of paint then covered it with clear plastic and taped it off.. I may try your way and what I was thinking. I love the mess free!!! BUT if the paint was able to smoosh around on the paper, then they would have an art work after you peeled off the plastic of course!

ReplyDelete Love this idea, and definitely going to try it with the kiddos. I do despise the mess of finger paints. Since I'm stealing one of your ideas to do with my kids, I thought I'd give you one of mine. It's another fun, finger painting project: http://testingtrendy123.blogspot.com/2012/09/easy-peasy-finger-painting-project.html
ReplyDeleteMy little 2 year old girl loves painting and love coloring....but she did not like this activity at all. Weird I know...but it wasn't "exciting" enough for her. She kept saying "i want to touch the paints...open it" and then she wanted to be done after just a few minutes when there was no mess to be made. Gotta love 2 year olds! I won't do this one again.

My kids love painting, but we do not do it as often as they would like because of the mess. This is a great idea!!! Thank you for sharing. I would love for you to share this idea on my linky party, my readers will love this idea! http://www.fivelittlechefs.com/2013/01/fantastic-thursday-27.html
ReplyDelete This sounds amazing, I am an ECE student and work with many three year olds who are working on their colours, I haven't seen them painting. However, the developmental levels of the children might be a different story, I am not sure if this would be interesting for them or better suited for toddlers. And in a HighScope center, I might add a small bin of Qtips to draw with.
ReplyDeleteI did this with my 4 year old recently and he loved it! It was a fun activity that he could come back to several times throughout the day :). I blogged about it and linked to you here.
Thanks for the great suggestion!Did you have the paper in the bag with the paint so the kids have something to show or was th paper under the bag and the paint in the bag I tried this with my kids 2day and couldn't get the paper out of the bag with out it riping, and couldn't get another price in either thanks confused :§
ReplyDeleteHi, Thought I'd share two things I have found. The heat sealing bag are thicker for us though the underside is a bit textured. For my 20 month old I refused to do the sensory bags though I knew she would love them because of the hair gel. When baking one day I stumbled on the solution that works for us... I fill a heat seal bag (could use freezer bag) with the sensory items and light corn syrup (the clear one)!!! Sometimes I add food coloring but usually I add a different colored glitter per bag. That way when she gets a hole in the bag even if she eats some (or the dog does lol) they just get corn syrup not hair get. :-) Just wanted to share this additional option with you. Best of luck and thanks for sharing your blog!!

This was more of a sensory activity than a finished-product activity; they had fun with it even with nothing to show for it afterwards. :) But I believe someone up higher in the comments had success keeping the painting by using a thick sheet of paper (cardstock) in the bag and then pulling it out and hanging it up to dry.
This was the perfect activity for being stuck in the house due to Snowpocalypse 2014. Despite having been given lots of opportunities to get use to it, my son just doesn't care for getting his hands dirty. Plus he's really into art. This activity really got his attention and we pretended it was the ocean and played with it for over an hour. Thank you for sharing!

I think I need some sensory therapy for myself! Paper first, then unzipped Ziploc bags filled with paint, then painter's tape. How does this keep my student's tiny, little fingers paint-free? I know I'm assembling it incorrectly. What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteRepliesOnce the paint is in the bags, close the bags and tape them to the table. The paper underneath is optional; it just provides better contrast. Then the kids use their fingers to push around the paint that is inside the bag - mix the colours, make pictures, write words, etc. There's no final product that is produced from this activity. It would be better referred to as a sensory bag than as finger painting.
Oh my goodness...you are a life savior. My son loves to paint, but he flips his hands all over when he gets excited and I have found everything imaginable on the floor, ceiling and everywhere in between when we have a fun activity lined up. I think I will print something on the paper, like fall leaves or a jack o lantern, for him and let him "paint" them!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the activity idea! I just did this with my three year old for our activity time today. However, I had an issue with not really being able see the 'painting' that we did. The bag was covered in paint on the inside and the marks we made disappeared very quickly, if they appeared at all. Do you have any suggestions for how I could fix that problem?
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! Will have to try it with my wonderful granddaughter! Especially the ideas about the hair gel and glitter! When I want to let her make a mess... I get several large quantities of finger paints (home made or store bought) and let her dump them all out on the driveway and in her swim suit or play shorts, I let her HAVE AT IT painting my driveway... making footprints, hand prints, murals...everything! Then when it dries, I have a beautiful driveway for a few days before it wears off and she is PROUD of her creation and LOVES to clean up in the hose before coming in!

I absolutely love this idea! I want to do it with my little brothers. Thank you :)
ReplyDelete I have a quick question. I want to try this with my Library Storytime group (they are toddlers) for the last session.My idea is to put flat canvas that has their initial taped on the canvas. Then add the paint, close the bag and tape it down.Then let the kids go crazy. After I would remove the canvas (probably by cutting through the baggie) and they can take their masterpiece home. Do you think this would work? Thanks!!

Introducing "True Ten Scale: True Looks, True Engineering"
We are very proud to introduce the fabulous
Cup Racer kit from HPI! The Cup Racer combines amazing features and
racing spec in true-to-scale one-tenth size, in what we call 'True
Ten' design! With the HPI True Ten performance chassis, you have
the opportunity to experience the joy of owning a super-realistic
representation of some of the most legendary sports cars ever
Ultimate Scale
The concept behind the Cup Racer and True
Ten scale is simple: to make the best-looking, most
realistic car models available. To do this, the HPI body
production department teamed up with our top car designers to put
together the the True Ten look, which authentically reproduces
actual cars in a way that makes them look exactly like the real
thing. These aren't slammed and lowered versions lookalikes
designed for ultimate performance, though: the True Ten ideal is to
replicate the real cars as they are in real life - in width,
height, length and detail, with details so precise that real car
fans wouldn't be able to tell the difference at first glance.
The True Ten series features the most
painstaking attention to detail that our designers have ever
tackled. Every body line and curve from the real car is represented
in the crash-resistant bodyshell. Every door line, bootlid and side
skirt is represented exactly as it appears on the real car. There
are even reproductions of the actual windscreen wipers, bumpers,
exhaust systems and mirrors, allowing the HPI True Ten series to
deliver the utmost in scale car driving! HPI graphics designers are
already legendary for producing the most accurate bodyshell
graphics you can find, and when you combine that with the uniquely
crystal-clear bodyshells from our body production department and
the new ultra-scale accessories, you get pure scale
To complete the True Ten concept, the
challenge of the design team was to put the scale bodies on a
chassis that is truly deserving of the ultimate scale looks. This
involved a complete re-think of how scale RC cars are designed and
used by today's RC hobbyists. Scale modelers want something that
just works, however experienced RC hobbyists and racers want
something that can be tuned to perform. We think our guys nailed
it. Read on to find out more!
Ready to
Experienced RC racers will be able to take
one look at the Cup Racer chassis and see for themselves the
performance potential of this all-new chassis! A huge array of
tuning adjustments is possible using the standard kit parts. The
Cup Racer features full-time 4WD, a super-stiff chassis, oil-filled
shocks and inboard front shocks, plus as the ability to
independently adjust suspension settings such as caster, camber,
track width, roll centre, wheelbase, anti-dive, anti-squat, droop
and much more! If you like your cars to drive as well as they look,
the Cup Racer is for you!
Designed for
From the very start, the True Ten scale Cup
Racer was engineered for top-level performance at a reasonable cost
- while still maintaining the true-to-scale look that scale
modelers desire. To accomplish this, HPI designers have taken it
upon themselves to perfect concepts that long-time HPI owners may
recognize, but haven't seen in their ultimate, final form. With the
Cup Racer, you can find elements of past HPI achievements put
together to make the ultimate scale RC enthusiast's machine - ready
for your hands to assemble and create the magic that is radio
control modeling.
hubs: 0mm + 4mm Spacers: 1mm + 2mm
With the True Ten chassis, you will be able to fit a wide range of
upcoming HPI True Ten bodyshells, as well as available bodyshells
such as the popular M-chassis models. Because real cars have
varying dimensions such as width, wheelbase and height, HPI
designers have created the True Ten chassis to be as flexible as
possible when fitting true-to-scale bodyshells. What this means is
that you can easily change the wheelbase of the car to suit short
or long wheelbase cars (210mm or 225mm). Also very important is the
width of the car - you will be able to incrementaly widen or narrow
the width of the chassis by as little as 1mm at a time, and up to
13mm per side, with a combination of hex hub adapters,
spacers and offset wheels. You'll be able to get the
on-the-edge sports car look or the sedate passenger car look in a
matter of minutes with the ingenius True Ten spacer system!0mm,
3mm and 6mm off set wheels
Variable Offset
To help you get a totally realistic looks,
we will be offering a range of reproduction classic wheel types to
suit the True Ten chassis. Like the popular Rays TE37 replica drift
wheels from HPI, the True Ten wheels will be offered in the widest
selection of wheel offsets available to RC modelers: standard 0mm
offset, wider 3mm offset for an extra 6mm of total width, and the
6mm deep-offset design for widening the car a full 12mm from the
wheels alone!
Fits a Massive
Range of Bodyshells
As you can see here, the True Ten chassis
is designed from the ground up to be totally realistic and true to
scale: true one-tenth scale! With a huge variety of real cars to
choose from, plus the range of M-type bodyshells available already,
we wanted to make sure that RC scale fanatics would be able to fit
any available bodyshell on the chassis with a minimum of hassle. A
selection of body posts will be available to custom-fit any True
Ten or M-chassis bodyshell, using a variety of body post locations.
Even car designs with low-profile front ends will fit, thanks to
the laydown-style front shocks! Coupe-style bodies will fit easily
with the changeable rear post mount location. In short, ANY
M-chassis bodyshell will fit, to allow you to replicate ANY car you
The front shock fitting can also be changed
to a more standard upright shock setting, or a laydown
configuration to help fit low-profile bodyshells. Coming soon from
HPI is an all-new selection of classic sports cars from the pages
of history: cars that challenged the ideal and toppled the
mightiest giants. Check back here for updates after the official
kit release!
The chassis will take any stick,
side-by-side or even hard-case LiPo battery packs in the uniquely
cool swing-out battery tray. Standard-height servos fit in the
slickly designed laydown area, and if want to fit modern
low-profile servos, these will fit in a stand-up position if you
choose, for a more central position in the chassis.
Build It
To get the full appreciation of the design
quality of any model car, you really have to build it from the
ground up. By seeing how every part works in perfect harmony with
the rest of the car, you will understand and truly appreciate the
time and skill that went into its engineering. This is why the Cup
Racer is available as a build-it-yourself kit only. With just a few
tools you will build the ultimate scale model chassis, ready for
display, playing about or even all-out racing!
Cool scale features:
- HPI 'True Ten' design – radio-control car models closer to scale than ever before!
- Classic sports car and racer bodyshells that inspired generations of car fans

As the job market becomes more competitive, employers throughout the country are recognizing that benefits are the best way to attract and retain top talent. If your Oklahoma business needs help finding affordable group health insurance and other benefits for your employees, Hometown Insurance Agency can help. As an independent insurance agency, we partner with several top-rated insurance carriers to provide affordable group benefits.
Many employers today are seeking assistance in navigating current legislation governing health insurance benefits. Affordable options that meet legal requirements are available, and the experts at Hometown Insurance Agency can help you find solutions for your organization. We'll take the time to learn about your company and then provide quotes based on:
We also provide rate reviews for businesses with existing group health benefits. Growing companies may be eligible for lower rates through another carrier.
Employer-provided life insurance is an affordable but attractive benefit that many businesses offer their full-time workers. Companies in often provide a $10,000 or $25,000 term life policy for qualified employees. Your organization can also offer a buy-in option for further life insurance coverage. If they choose to participate, employees would benefit from group rates on this extended coverage.
Business consultants today indicate that for optimum employee retention a business should provide as many benefits as possible. Fortunately, Hometown Insurance Agency offers an array of group benefits that may be more affordable than you think. Many of these products can be offered to employees at low group rates:

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a life long disorder of dogs and cats that results when the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin to meet the animal's needs. Insulin is a hormone needed to transport glucose (blood sugar) into the body's cells. When there is a lack of insulin in the body, blood glucose rises to abnormally high levels. Over time, this causes damage to body tissues and produces the symptoms commonly seen in animals with DM.
Early symptoms, such as weakness, weight loss, change in appetite and depression can be mild and may go unnoticed by the owner. Increased thirst and frequent urination more commonly results in a visit to your Veterinarian where tests can be done to identify what may be affecting the family pet. Urinary tract infections are more common in diabetic pets than in normal animals.
Once a diagnosis has been made, a treatment plan will be designed to meet the individual needs of your pet and you. The plan will address the type and amount of insulin, how it is to be administered, dietary restrictions and exercise for your pet. Dogs are Type I diabetics in that they require insulin injections. Cats are usually Type II diabetics. Insulin injections are usually used initially, but when fed a special diet, as much as 70% of cats can eventually be maintained without the insulin.
There is no cure for DM, but through your commitment of time and management of their life style, your pet can lead a happy comfortable life.

Rules page
On this page you can add some information on how to play as a contender in the pool. The plugin supports several shortcodes that you can put in this text. See the help page in the admin for more information about the shortcodes.
The text below is an example for such a page.
Subscription for the pool is easy. All you have to do is think of a login name and a valid email address. If you lost your password, you can generate a new one. Or ask the webmaster.
Predicting the matches
Predict the end score of all the matches in the tournament/competition. You have until 15 minutes before the start of a match to add or change your prediction.
The server time is used. No discussion about that, so be on time if you want to fill in your scores.
As you may have noticed the matches in the next stages are not yet filled at the beginning of the tournament. Once the teams are through to the next round, I will add them. These games can also be changed until 15 minutes before the game starts. Or, if you're feeling lucky, you can predict them now.
The bonus questions
You can earn extra points during the tournament with the bonus questions. These questions must be answered before a given date and time. Each questions shows the points you can earn.
The scoring
In the group phase the scores at the end of the game are used for the calculation of the scores. For final rounds the score at the end of the game including extra time is used. Goals in a penalty shoot-out are not taken into consideration.
You get points for predicting the correct winner of the match or prediction of a draw. We call this the toto score. In case you also predict the exact amount of goals scored, you get extra points. We call this the full score. If you got the goals correct you get the extra goal bonus, even if you didn't get the match result correct (e.g. match ends in 1-1 and you predicted 0-1 you will still get [fp-goalpoints] points). The last scoring options is the goal difference bonus: if you predict the correct winner, not the exact score, but you predicted the correct difference in goals, you get the goal difference bonus (e.g. you predicted 3-1 or 4-2 and result is 2-0).
points | |
toto score | [fp-totopoints] |
full score | [fp-fullpoints] |
goal bonus | [fp-goalpoints] |
goal difference bonus | [fp-diffpoints] |
bonus question | may be different for every question |
If you want to view the ranking, then go to the ranking page and pick the correct league. If you're logged in, then the league for which you subscribed, is automatically picked.
The multiplier
Each player has one or more multipliers (SEE PLUGIN SETTINGS). If you enable a multiplier on a match, the score for that match is multiplied by [fp-jokermultiplier]. You may enable the multiplier on every match and you can change your mind and move the multiplier as long this match is still changeable. The multiplier is activated after the prediction for the match is locked. Once activated the multiplier cannot be moved anymore.
Same ranking?
When multiple players have the exact same amount of points, then the following sorting rules are applied on the ranking (most important one at the top):
- amount of full scores;
- amount of toto scores;
- amount of correct bonus questions.

What's the difference between a fiberglass and an organic shingle? The difference between a fiberglass and an organic shingle is the type of mat that is used. Organic mats, which are used to make organic asphalt shingles, are composed primarily of cellulose fibers derived from selected recycled paper or converted wood chips. On the other hand, the mats used to make fiberglass asphalt shingles are composed of glass filaments of various lengths and orientations, bonded together with inert binders. In most climates, both shingles, if installed properly on well-made roof decks, perform similarly. See CASMA Technical Bulletin No. 20 for more information.
What are the most common asphalt shingle product and test standards? The most commonly found product and test standards are:
Why/when should I use an asphalt shingle underlayment? An asphalt shingle underlayment is typically dry felt that may be impregnated or coated with an asphalt saturant. The use of an underlayment is recommended for the following reasons:
Can I apply new shingles over existing shingles? That depends on the condition of the roof. If the roof has one layer of shingles that are lying flat and the deck is in good condition, the existing shingles typically do not have to be removed. Check with local officials to make sure that building codes are being followed. Reroofing is also a perfect time to examine roof ventilation to ensure vents are unobstructed, properly positioned, and sufficient in number.
What offsets should be used for laminated shingles? For laminated shingles, the recommended offset is 10 inches. Typically, laminated shingle offsets range from 6 to 10 inches. Regardless of the shingle type, it is always best to follow all application instructions printed on the shingle package. This will ensure proper roof performance and finished roof aesthetics. Laminated shingles must be applied with a minimum offset no less than 4 inches.
How can I ensure proper performance from shingles in cold climates? Proper performance from shingles installed and used in cold weather can be achieved by following the recommendations listed below:
Which type of fastener should be used to install asphalt shingles-nails or staples? We agree with and support the ARMA position that nails are the preferred method of fastening asphalt shingles due to their superior holding strength. The following fastening tips apply to most composite shingles:
Do I need to peel the release tape off the shingles? The plastic release film on the back of composite shingles does not need to be removed. The sole purpose of this tape is to prevent the shingles from sticking together in the package. Once the shingles have been removed from the package and are applied in the correct orientation on the roof, the release tape serves no purpose whatsoever. The shingle sealant, which bonds the shingles together, is located elsewhere on the shingle and will seal succeeding courses of the shingles together on the roof when warmed by the heat of the sun, soon after application.
What is causing the algae growth on my shingles? Algae growth is typically seen on light-colored shingles. It exists as a brown to black discoloration of the shingle and is caused by an algae known as Gloeocapsa. Although its presence may be aesthetically undesirable, it does not affect the performance of the shingle.
How do I get rid of the algae growth on my shingles? There are several ways to reduce the discoloration caused by algae:
Can bird excrement affect asphalt roofing products? A buildup of bird excrement on asphalt roofing products can have negative effects if it remains on the product for a considerable amount of time. In some instances, it can even shorten the life of the product. Companies specializing in bird control offer several ways to minimize this problem.
Can hail affect asphalt roofing shingles? Yes. Hail can cause both aesthetic and functional damage to asphalt roofing shingles. Aesthetic damage is characterized by a slight granule loss, while functional damage is defined by substantial granule loss or cracking or penetration of the shingle. Functional damage may result in short-term leaks or a reduction of the life expectancy of the shingle. According to CASMA Technical Bulletin No. 14 (1997), several factors affect how roofing shingles will perform in hail:
Are there any asphalt shingles specifically designed for hail conditions? Yes. The Dynasty shingle. It is a laminated shingle composed of a dimensionally stable, heavyweight, nonwoven glass fiber mat that is thoroughly impregnated and coated with atactic polypropylene (APP) modified asphalt. This special blend of APP asphalt gives Dynasty shingles superior tear and tensile strength characteristics. These shingles carry a UL 2218 Class 4 impact resistance rating.
What is buckling? Buckling is defined as ridges that form along the length of the shingle, with the ridge spacing usually coincidental with deck board joints. These ridges are caused by the shingle being distorted from the movement of the deck. Buckling can occur with any deck type, but is more common with board decks, and less common on plywood decks. Buckling can occur when a new roof is installed, even if the old roof did not show any buckles. When the roof is stripped, the deck may be exposed to moisture, causing dimensional changes in the supporting lumber.
How can I reduce the chance of having buckled shingles? The following will help to prevent buckling:
My shingles are buckling. What should I do? There are a couple of ways to correct this problem:
Should I be concerned about small bubbles/blisters on my shingles? No. Practically all asphalt shingles have, by the nature of their manufacture, a greater or lesser degree of blistering potential under certain conditions or combinations of conditions. Generally, blistering is difficult to see from ground level and does not necessarily shorten the life of the shingle.
What is color shading? A roof observed from different lighting conditions or angles may have darker or lighter spots in certain areas. This apparent difference in color is referred to as "shading." Shading is usually caused by unavoidable slight variations in texture that occur during the manufacturing process. Black or dark-colored shingles are more prone to shading problems. A small amount of light is reflected from dark surfaces. Therefore, even slight textural differences may cause shading. Light-colored shingles reflect greater amounts of light than darker shingles, making shading problems less noticeable. Since blends are made from a number of colors, shading differences are masked and are even less noticeable. Additionally, the material on the back of a shingle is sometimes transferred to other shingles that are next to it. And when shingles are stacked too high or stored for long periods of time, stains can develop. Both conditions can create the appearance of shading. These are only temporary problems and the will naturally weather off. Shading does not affect the watershedding performance or life expectancy of a shingle.
What can I do to reduce the potential for shading? To reduce the potential for shading:
My gutter is filled with granules. Is there a problem with my shingles? Not necessarily. Excessive amounts of granules are applied during the shingle manufacturing process to make sure that the asphalt on the roofing sheet is completely covered. It is important to completely cover the sheet with granules so that the asphalt is not exposed to ultraviolet light. The granules are then pressed in. Due to the excessive amount of granules applied, some of the granules are only held loosely in place. Most of the excess granules are removed by the shingle manufacturing process, but some of these granules do get packaged with the shingles. These excess granules are known as "hitchhiker" granules. These hitchhikers will typically come off during the first two years of shingle exposure on the roof. They usually will be found in gutters or at the bottom of downspouts. The loss of these granules is normal and does not affect the performance of the shingle. Granule loss only becomes a problem when the asphalt becomes exposed on the surface of the shingle.
What is fishmouthing? Fishmouthing is the raising of a portion of the front edge of a shingle to create an "eyebrow" appearance. This may occur at the lower tab edge or along the cutout edge. These distortions may be more noticeable on certain roofs because of the slope, sunlight, and shingle color. These fishmouths do not affect the life expectancy of the shingle, and they do not result in leakage, blow-off, or other shingle problems.
What causes fishmouthing and how can it be corrected? Fishmouthing can be caused by:
What is a splice? Large rolls of organic felt or glass mat are used in the shingle manufacturing process, and a splice is a glued or taped lap of the end of one roll to the beginning of the succeeding roll. Rolls of dry felt or glass mat must be spliced together to maintain continuous shingle production. Each splice is marked for rejection before the shingles are packaged. Occasionally, an error or oversight occurs where that splice gets packaged along with the shingles. Shingles containing a splice will delaminate on the roof within a few months, and should be replaced.
What is winter curling? When the front edge of a shingle tab lifts to form a shallow "U" saucer shape in cold weather and flattens when the weather is warmer, this phenomenon is known as winter curling. Sometimes, the entire front edge of a shingle may lift uniformly. When the top surface of the shingle is cooled, this part of the shingle contracts. At the same time, the bottom of the shingle receives a certain amount of heat from the attic, especially if the attic ventilation is insufficient. As a result, the shingle curls slightly. The appearance of winter curling depend on factors such as the age of the shingle, the type of shingle, roof pitch, attic ventilation, humidity, and climate. Complete elimination of winter curling is rare, although the durability and watershedding properties are not affected.
What is a drip edge and how is it applied? Drip edges are used for watershedding at the eaves and rakes and for preventing wood materials from rotting. It is important that the drip edge is "made of a corrosive-resistant material that extends approximately 3 inches back from the roof edges and bends downward over them." (Residential Asphalt Roofing Manual, 1997) The drip edge should be applied beneath the underlayment or eave protection along the eaves and over the underlayment on the rakes.
What are low-slope roofs? Roofs that have slopes of 4:12 or less are considered to be low-slope roofs. (4:12 means a vertical rise of 4 inches for every 12-inch horizontal run, or 18.4 degrees). Never apply asphalt shingles to slopes that are below 2:12 (9.5 degrees). Shingles applied on low-slope slopes do not last as long as shingles on steeper roof pitches, due to the increased exposure to sunlight and other weather conditions. Generally, laminated/architectural shingles are better suited to steep roofs, and do not offer aesthetic benefits when applied on low slopes.
How can I reduce some of the problems associated with low-slope roofs? Low-slope roofs are more susceptible to water entry due to ice dams and wind-driven rain. Therefore, the key to a successful low-slope roof is to increase the watershedding properties of the roof system. Rain and melting snow do not run off quickly on low-slope roofs. As a result, the potential for ice dams is increased. By providing adequate ventilation, the formation of ice dams can be decreased. "The National Building Code of Canada allows various types of ice dam membranes to be used, but CASMA recommends that self-adhering modified asphalt membranes be used." (CASMA Technical Bulletin No. 16, 1998) Wind-driven rain is another concern associated with low-slope roofs. By improving the underlayment or by using a special shingle application method, the damage caused by wind-driven rain can be reduced.
How many shingles will I need for my project? By using simple calculations, you can estimate the number of shingles that will be needed to complete the job. Roofs come in many shapes and sizes and can be classified into simple geometric shapes such as squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. To determine how many shingles will be needed, you must first calculate the area of the roof. This is done by figuring out what geometric shapes make up your roof, calculating the area of the individual shapes, and summing the areas to give you the total area of the roof. The area required is then divided by the area each bundle covers. Don't forget to add allowances for ridges, starter strips, etc.
What will happen if my roof is not properly ventilated? Insufficient ventilation can lead to:
How much ventilation do I need on my roof? The amount of ventilation needed is determined by the size and design of the roof. For roof and attic spaces above an insulated ceiling, the vent ratio is one square foot of not-free ventilating area/300 square feet. For low-slope roofs or roofs with cathedral ceilings, the vent ratio is one square foot/150 square feet.
Can I paint my roof? Yes, the effect of paint on shingles if very negligible. Technically, it could be argued that the paint will help the shingles weather longer. Some roof coatings that are advertised to extend product life are simply premium-quality latex paints.
Do I have to use a certain type of paint on my roof? Yes. Latex paints must be used. Latex paints will do nothing more than color the shingles. On the other hand, oil-based paints may soften the shingles slightly due to the solvents that they contain. These solvents will evaporate quickly, so if used carefully, there should not be any lasting effects. Generally, regardless of the paint that is used, it will weather off within five years. How long the paint lasts depends on the quality of the paint, the pitch of the roof, climate, etc.
How are composite shingles made? Shingles are made in a continuous web process. Large rolls of felt are fed into a dry looper, which serves as an accumulator. The felt then goes to a saturator tank. In the saturator tank, the felt is impregnated with saturant asphalt. From the saturator tank, the felt moves to the wet looper, where the saturant is drawn into the felt as it cools. This allows the felt to attain a high degree of saturation and dries the surface of the sheet. The saturated organic felt or the glass mat (glass mat shingles do not require the saturation process) moves to the coater. At the coater, coating (asphalt with air blown through it) is applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the sheet. Mineral stabilizers are added to the coating to improve the shingle's fire resistance and weatherability. Next, granules are applied to the top surface of coating. Granules are ceramically colored crushed rock; the granules give the shingle its color, but more importantly protect the coating from ultraviolet light. Backsurfacing is then applied to the sheet to prevent it from sticking to the machine and to other shingles when packaged. The release tape is also applied to the back of the sheet to prevent the sealant buttons from sticking to the next shingle in the package. The granules are then pressed into the topcoating. Once the sheet is cooled, sealant buttons are applied. The sealant buttons allow one shingle to bond to the overlying shingle on a roof, to prevent wind uplift. The roofing sheet is then measured and cut into shingles. At this stage, the two pieces of laminated material are adhered together. The shingles are wrapped into bundles and stored in the warehouse until they are ready to be shipped to the appropriate location.
What are ice dams? Ice dam formation is the result of continuous freezing and thawing of snow due to escaping heat from the house or from gutters being backed up with frozen slush. When this occurs, water may be driven under the roof, which may cause ceiling, wall, insulation, and gutter damage.
What can I do about ice dams? Ice dams can be preventing from forming by:
Can I use salt to remove the ice on my shingles? Yes, but there are some drawbacks to doing this.
Can I use a shovel to remove snow and ice from my shingles? Yes, but it is not recommended.

Did you know that each year in the United States, we celebrate "National Roof Over Your Head Day" on December 3rd?
As noted on the National Calendar, it was "created as a day to be thankful for what you have, starting with the roof over your head. There are many things that we have that we take for granted and do not stop to appreciate how fortunate we are for having them."
From bungalows to cottages, and farmhouses to treehouses, today we show our appreciation and gratitude for the places we call home. Owning the roof that shelters us is something many renters still aspire to, knowing there are so many financial and non-financial benefits to homeownership.
According to the 2019 State of the Nation's Housing from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University,
"Cost-burdened renters now outnumber cost-burdened homeowners by more than 3.0 million. In addition, renters make up 10.8 million of the 18.2 million severely burdened households that pay more than half their incomes for housing."
Homeownership drives many benefits, including providing families with a place to feel secure. It also helps promote confidence that they are investing proactively in themselves and their communities. That is why there are 77.7 million owner-occupied housing units in the United States.
Many, however, fear it is too expensive to own a home. In reality, however, it's actually more expensive to rent. Here's the breakdown as a percentage of income necessary for both – affording median rent and owning a home:
Bottom Line
Today we pause to appreciate the places we call home, and all of the other reasons we have to be truly thankful. For those who don't own yet and would like to, it's a wonderful time to start identifying the steps to take toward homeownership. Let's connect today to begin creating your plan.

Red Sox - 003 210 180 - 15 16 0 Orioles - 200 050 030 - 10 12 1The game was tied at 7-7 when Jarrod Saltalamacchia led off the top of the eighth inning. He grounded out to shortstop for the first out. He also made the inning's second out. Between those two at-bats, eight straight Red Sox reached base, and they all eventually scored.
Darnell McDonald walked, Marco Scutaro singled, Jacoby Ellsbury walked, Dustin Pedroia doubled in two runs (9-7), Adrian Gonzalez was walked intentionally, Kevin Youkilis singled in two runs (11-7), Josh Reddick walked, Carl Crawford singled in a run (12-7). After Salty struck out, McDonald doubled in three more runs (15-7). Sadly, Salty did not make the third out. After Microwave's double, Scutaro flied out to right.
It was a well-balanced attack against six Baltimore pitchers.
[Back on July 6, Jere announced that the 2011 Red Sox would henceforth be known as The Rock Brigade (named for the first track on Def Leppard's 1980 debut album). I owned this album, bought during the summer between my junior and senior year of high school. If you don't recognize the name of the song but think you've heard it before, you probably have. After hearing Rock Brigade for the first time in nearly 30 years, I'm impressed -- it's a virtual template for tons of earwood nerf metal from the 80s. Anyway, I'm totally on board with the Rock Brigade.]
After being hit by a two-out rally in the first, Wakefield (4.2-9-7-2-3, 93) settled down, but crumbled in the fifth. He allowed five hits (including two home runs) and five runs, facing nine batters in the inning and allowing the Birds to take a one-run lead before he finally got the hook from Terry Francona.
It seemed like an obvious case of Tito sticking with a cooked starter, hoping -- as the hits and runs continued to rain down -- that his pitcher could get another out, have five innings in the books, and thus qualify for a win. That backfired tonight, as Wakefield could not get that elusive third out, surrendering a solo home run, two singles, a walk, and a two-run double before Dan Wheeler was summoned from the bullpen.
Tim Wakefield / Brad Bergesen
Carl Crawford returns to the lineup tonight; Drew Sutton was optioned to Pawtucket. ... Both David Ortiz and Kevin Gregg had their four-game suspensions reduced to three games and will miss this series.
Jon Lester has been penciled in as the starter next Tuesday, July 26, at home against the Royals. ... Adrian Gonzalez was 1-for-15 in the Rays series.
Tuesday: Kyle Weiland / Jeremy Guthrie
Wednesday: Andrew Miller / Jake Arrieta
AL East: Yankees/Rays at 7 PM.
