Nice! I'll have to consider this method when I eventually get around to redoing my modern paved roads. They're a bit older and not as snazzy as these...

Very nice indeed. I wonder if I can get something similar in the UK.

Hmmmm, I don't think we have these type of shingles here in The Netherlands. A shame, because the results are fantastic!!

Just cross the border to Sauerkraut country, enter the next DIY-Store called "Baumarkt" there and ask for "Dachpappe" or "Bitumenschindeln". (I believe your county should have that kind of stuff too I guess, but here in Europe it rarely comes in shingles but usualy is rolled up in barrels).

I tried something silmilar with "Mauersperrband" (another bitouminous product also sold in German DIY stores) but that product is hard ro cut and stays sticky at the edges.
Far less active than I used to...

Cool - at least Germany has the product.  Shipping has to be better from Germany than from the US.
