That's what I was wondering about - the grade of copper or leaded copper, what's used in the roofing industry. and mat'ls associated with working with it. Thanks - JK
-
I have on a couple occasions been asked if I do and or work with leaded copper - as in roofing flashing or repairs. Do any of you work with this and have or know of a supplier I could possibly buy the materials from? Is there a special solder to use with this application? The projects are more custom things than what a normal roofing shop would get into - as in the one request was very artistic and not your normal standing seam application on a curved roof. The pieces would have to be hand formed by the way of chasing/reprouse'/ hand hammering. Any help in this area would be helpful. Thank You - Jeremy K
