    Is the underlay self-healing?
    Just inquire at a roofing place that does commercial installs, ask for Peel-and-Stick type, common as dirt. 
    One of the top brands is Soprema, ask for the Blue  Elephant

    And if he's not there, ask for the person in charge. :)

    The ice shield is sticky and glues it self to the wood serface . 
     Some you can peel up but some becomes a real sticky mess.
     Not only can you not peel the ice shield off the wood but it's a real job to get the shingles off also . 
     Some times we end up banging the ply wood off and replacing it . 
     In my area GP had a bad run of ply wood in the 70 and the stuff just rips up when you remove the shingles. 
     Gaf weather watch is good stuff . 
     Not to sticky , it has a granulate  surface so you could walk on it . 
     I think it's 55 bucks for 200 feet . 
     Grace makes the best  Products  but it is more then double the price.
    i used ice and water shield on the  entire roof because I have 1x8 rough saw decking and did not want to get nail leaks
     because of  expansion and contraction of lumber , plus I am in a hi wind area .
     And yes the nail holes don't leak. 
      I really wanted a  Metal roof but it just cost too much money . 
      My guys shot my roof on for food and beer . 
     2 guys 2 days sun up to sun down 6000 plus feet .
     My son and I layed the plywood and ice shield  and my roofers just shot shingles.
     Steal would of taken weeks that I did not have.
