If you're smart, you don't. Roll it back up, stash it in the garage, and go buy a good heavy rubber membrane system. Note that I said "system." Don't try to put things together that aren't made to work together.

If youI think you're stuck with using the rolled roofing, read the manufacturer's installation instructions (not a sales flier) carefully. Check every detail repeatedly until you're sure you understand it. Otherwise, call a professional.

How do you add roll roofing under shingle roofing?

I am not sure if this question is worded correctly. 1) To add rolled roofing under shingles is not a recommended method of installation. What will work is to install a layer of Ice & Water Protection such as Grace Ice & Water Shield prior to the installation of your shingles. 2) If you meant to ask about installing rolled roofing over your shingles or installing shingles over your rolled roofing this is once again not recommended but is commonly done. You would first make sure the surface is level and remove all loose debris from existing roofing materials and or dirt, leaves, etc.. Just a quick clean up and sweep should be good. Then if the existing roofing materials are leaking I would recommend you either remove them and do this installation properly or at least install a layer of underlayment such as a heavy 30# felt paper or RoofTop Guard II over the existing materials. Then install the new materials following the manufacturers specifications. Once again this is not the recommended procedure and will void all manufacturers warranties.
