It looks pretty good. Although I would never flash roofing with it, that`s a good result.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

Awesome Gary thanks for the pictures!! I hope your buddy decides to join up here someday. Always nice to see new and unique things. This is certainly off the hook~! You know I've had a roll of the same roof flashing here for years. I use it for mockup on metal bits I make now and then. But never thought to use it as wrap!! Thumbs up~! Cool1

Roof flashing... what an interesting idea! With so many members here posting about alternative wrapping materials from hardware stores, craft stores, and fabric shops, I'm surprise no one has mentioned this before.

So I assume there is no adhesive used? Just roll tightly around the shell and fasten underneath the lugs?

VERY GOOD! I recently posted here about using vinyl automotive "wrap" on Ludwig Standard aluminum shells, but it won't work on wood shells. This roof flashing is a great idea. I like the innovation.
