No, Paul was refering to me and my post so don't worry.
As regards felting the shed roof I can only speak form expirience. I have used torch on felt on 2 sheds and one garage about 25 yrs ago, not one has suffered a leak to my knowledge. It was for family so they would have told me.(I was also a (hot) bitumen/felt roofer for 5yrs without one complaint or call back).
You do not have to remove all the plastic backing, just as much as you can. Then just seal each side with a blow torch, the rest will be done by the sun.
For sheds and garages only, I would not recommend doing it on a flat roof e.g. on an extention to a house, then it would have to be full torch on of at least 3 layers.
