don't use silicone, if you have to use a sealant on roofing/lead use
Leadmate and plenty of it. it does what it says on the tube.

That *is* silicone! It's just lead coloured.


The original cavity for filling the flashing seal was wide but not deep, so
I made it deeper with angle grinder and filled with mortar. The slot was too
wide anyway for sightly or economical use of silicone. So now I'm after
some silicone based product that can be absorbed by the mortar. I was under
the impression there was one?
