Default roofing tar bedliner???

i heard you could use roofing tar for bed liner because it is stronger than any bed liner out there. my question is it gonna be safe to use because where i live it gets really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. will it melt if it sits on the sun? also thought of mixing sand into the 5 gallons and making it textury??

im sorry but thats about like asking if you could use a plastic bag for a condom. yes it might work but it would look like crap and probaly not bring pleasure . yes roofing tar will soften if it gets hot enough.

i've seen it used for years as undercoating. but in a best would be a mess and takes forever to dry out. and everytime you or something touched it you'd get tar on you.
