Yes I did notice them. My roofer done his best to avoid them. Where’s there’s bond on bond there’s lead soakers underneath. Originally it had bond on bond too. Thanks for watching.

Nice neat work , am a little afraid of erosion on the curve where the tiles touch the felt, and any water ingress may not run away as in normal battening and will find its way in through eroded felt caused by wind and extremes of weather moving the tiles daily!

String lines could have been used somewhat like a spiders web to get your bond & cuts perfect on the curve, looks good otherwise.

Enjoyed the video,really helpful,I hope you don’t mind me asking a few questions,I am a roofer/Solar by trade,however lead welding is something I’ve always struggled with,I do have a oxyturbo set at home I’m having a practice with,1,what’s the ideal size nozzle to use,2/if the flame is too hot and burning through the lead,am I using to much oxygen or gas?
@slbleadworks
@slbleadworks 3 күн бұрын
I’m glad you’re enjoying the vids. I use a number 3 nozzle. And if your burning through the lead your using too much gas or keeping the heat on for too long.

Good work as always. However allays used to tile around pipes as you have done until l did the LSA course and looked at the manual that shows the lead on show below the pipe. Which then allows the tiles to sit on the battens.
