   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

   WOW!!! What a Ride!

   I'm going with NO myself.  Aluminum soldering is difficult at best.

   Next question.

   If you had to make a corner with coil stock how can it be done?

   Think about the inside corner of a box...

   If I could I'd use copper.  Stuffs pricey, but is made for solder.

   It seems like a good place to make a corner withou cutting- kind of like a "hospital corner" on a bed.  bend both sides up, then fold the extra metal into a triangle, fold it to the side, rivet it if necessary.  That sounds like garbledygook.  try it with paper.

   I get it.

   How hard is that with metal though?

   It's not too big of a deal with coil stock. Getting it pretty looking is a small problem, but doable.

   yeah, well. . . the few that I've made have not looked all that pretty, but I would rather have it not look pretty and keep the water out than vice versa.  I think somebody who wanted to make a few practice corners could do it fairly well.  aluminum coil is not that hard to work, but you would probably want some things to hammer it around to where it should live.

   Why?

   Usually silicone, and rivets(if necessary), are sufficient.

   If you have any poo, fling it now.

   Long story short the house is POS, built that way, every conceivable sin that could have been commited on the exterior was when it was orginally built.  The facade has brick about halfway up and then siding.

   There are areas where I would like to "pan" the corners.   Dark brown coil stock would look a lot better then bright shiny metal.

   So I would like to solder the seams.    I thought about rivets and silicone, solder seems more permit if I  could.
