Soldering Copper Flashings on a Slate Roof

We were soldering some copper flashings for a roof mockup used for slate roof installation and repair training, using some old recycled 20-ounce copper we had lying around. We used Express flux for oxidized metals, as well as an Express Portable Soldering Kit #66440000. We also were using 1/4 pound 50:50 tin/lead solder bars. All of these things are available at SlateRoofWarehouse.com. This 5-minute video gives you some insight into how to solder vertical joints and how to solder copper flashing joints in general. The video also includes a segment on folding a valley top joint on a slate roof without soldering it. Filmed by Joseph Jenkins, author of the Slate Roof Bible, 3rd edition (www.slateroofwarehouse.com/Slate_Bible_3.html).
