holding down felt?
since we had all the high winds my garage roof has lost all its felt is there any way of sticking it down (the new felt)?
it was just nailed down with broad felt nails with a few latts as extra support before
again thanks in advance

You can buy tar based adhesives.
Just paint on and stick it down. Use nails while it is curing.
Just make sure nothing is underneath if there are gaps/holes as it will run through!
Not nice on your car's paintwork! 
The other way is to buy pitch and melt it in a pot (using a proper propane burner) and pour it on and spread it. Quickly put the felt over it before
it sets.

Or, use torch on felt.
Cut to size and part melt the underside of the felt as you roll it on.
One of the roofers will be along soon for a full run down.
A treated timber strap at every second rafter position is also a good insurance policy. (That's the joiner in me coming out.)

Why not fibre glass it?? good practise for the kit repairs/alterations.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

CFS for trims/GRP, make sure you use plywood (wisa/spruce)and not sterling board , and coat the top coat on before it gets rained on !
itll be a good lifetime before it needs work .
