Ah - that's what I thought, too. I tried it today - too much collateral
damage, as they say, to the tin. Again the problem is with the nails
being slightly countersunk. That and working over your head while
standing on a step ladder.
It keep coming back to prying off from behind. As many alternatives
that I try, it's still the best: fastest,easiest, safest.
Thanks,
Bob
