I want to make a section of lead flashing to wrap around an external
corner. This requires a soldered joint or two but I can't find out how
to do it. I'm a fairly experienced DIYer and not afraid to learn
something new. Can anyone tell me how to join two pieces of lead
please? Thanks


Having watched a friend do it [1]

With a narrow strip of lead (~ 1 cm) as "solder" and a good brazing
torch or oxyacetylene

Of course, a reasonable bit of practice might be useful

[1] - he did the roof for that **** Hoogstraden's mansion, so he must be
fairly experienced
