Anyone ever glued down roof shingles onto wood steps?

Want something with a more finished look instead of using roofing nails. And need more coverage than the 4" wide grip tape.

I have a rental where there is a couple wood ramps off a deck where previous homeowners laid shingles down for tread. A few came off and I reattached with I think some kind of loctite construction glue. Seems to work pretty good imo.

Blackjack roofing cement. Just have to give it time to cure.

Apply a fresh coat of paint to the steps. Then immediately sprinkle a generous coating of rubber grit to the surface. Allow it to dry. Then add a second coat to seal the grit.

you can also use coarse crushed pecan shells (or similar)...think media for sand blasting but not sand.

Sprinkle it on the wet paint...let that dry...put another coat of paint on top.

The benefit over rubber/sand additive is you can always sand it down if you need to.

They can add (supposedly crushed walnut shells) to paint when you buy it.

I had some applied on a deck, and it was annoyingly rough. Seems ideal for steps.

Best of luck, whatever method you choose.
