Me shed is leaking like a siv  Can anyone recommend  a very good water sealant , the shed felt has cracked along the edges and no matter how much bitumen sealant i use it still cracks 

[Kevin Wood]

Just get some new felt. It's pretty easy to pull the old stuff off and replace it.. unless it's rotten as a pear underneath.

Agreed, I'd re-felt it.

[Del Boy]

As said re-felt it, however Fabsil is quite good  .

[omega3000]

No its not rotten its just the edges that have cracked and wont seal , only looking for a temp make do job

All that you've spent would have paid for the felt - its cheap

Especially when your next door neighbour builds a ruddy great summer house and gives you his left overs.

Mite slap some fiberglass on it then , no way im getting up on a ladder to re-felt  That product thats called shed felt is like tissue paper , its ok ish on the flat but when turning the edges it splits

Not if you gently heat it first.

Yep thats true but i think the shed felt stuff would have blown to bits with a heat gun on it

Heat gun is far too hot. Just stuff it up the crack of your arse for two minutes.
