SOLDERING COPPER
Want to sweat solder our snow
guards on a copper roof? (Using a torch is not recommended.) On the left is a video clip of
soldering an interlocking, flat-seamed, copper deck. The same principle can
be applied to soldering our Gough SnoGuards to a copper roof.
Wire-brushing may not be necessary on a new copper roof.
Also, do not move the soldering iron faster than you can perceive the solder is
flowing fully between the lapped copper. (It takes time for heat to transfer.)
