Are there any systems or methods that allow you to actually bend the bitumen layer down over the edge? I'm imagining a piece of large (2-3") quarter round at the top of the fascia so as the bitumen layer leaves the roof it follows the curve of the quarter round until it's vertical. There would be a piece of edge flashing between the quarter round and roofing layers covering the transition as it leaves the roof and is supported by the quarter round. It's hard to imagine a better drip edge, no? Installing a gutter underneath would be a breeze. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think I might be able to try something like this to a lesser degree just by cutting beveled edge on the top of my fascia board so that the slight overhang of the bitumen is agled down a bit
