          B.For application into steel deck the minimum number of Hunter SIP/SD or SIP/WD fasteners shall be 15 per 47-1/2 by 95-1/2 (1207 mm by 2426 mm) panel. Fasteners in metal deck shall penetrate the top flute of the steel to a depth of 1 inch (25 mm).
 
          C.Only apply enough H-Shield-NB per day that can be covered by shingles, standing seam metal, tile or any other accepted roofing product.
 
          D.Use only UL or FM approved synthetic underlayment over nailbase insulation panels. The use of 15 or 30 pound roofing felt is not recommended.
 
          3.4PROTECTION
