    Good work fella. What a difference a bit of heat makes. I never used to bother but now I wouldn’t even attempt a lead roll end without some heat. I’m interested to know if you are burning you’re internal corners? Is the whole job bossed? You won’t like my way of doing jobs like that. I get rid of all those steps and have one nice long flat substrate and fit a high quality single ply membrane. Costs the customer half the price and we earn double the money. Win win. Dont get me wrong, a nice lead gulley looks great and I’m sure will last a lifetime done well but my goodness it’s a lot of work. Still, no pain, no gain as they say.
