Take 'em off; install new ice and water shield atop the masonry; solder new sheet copper to the entire underside of the (horizontal surface that now has pinholes?); turn the copper over and solder each of the pinholes from the top/finish side; reinstall.
An invite to hear the blues, huh? As the guy in Save the Tiger said to Jack Lemmon after receiving a 10 cent tip, "You are a very generous citizen."

And a happy new year to you, too. Get some for both of us.

Subject: [BP] Cornice Restoration
Cornice ? didn't I date her in high school ?
Ok Ok ...Timely conversation I just recently got back from a church meeting
..1920"s church (english Gothic) has existing copper metal boxed copings,
pin holes in top of metal with some leakage ;but basically stout and sound.
Possible scope:
restore in place , lift off put down fire and ice shield flashing
then how to repair or strengthen original coping top? with second piece of metal ?
with flashing inside the original ?
Basically I would like to keep the historic original , They are custom fit , workmanship is tight ,sides are all in good shape
but its time to repair or replace the top
.
The only wear i see is the coping top .
and these are one piece units going from the apex to the springer
and buttress return. (or 30 ft units)..
I am doing the stone work , it will be sring before we start , but they are looking to me for answers on metal ,plastic to keep or to restore /// any helpful advice
gets you an invite to hear some blues in the Delta ...
Best wishes for the New year Py
