12. Never ever ever repair lead cracks like this haha! There's a word for this and it's called COWBOYS! A crack or split in lead work should be cleaned by a shave hook till the lead is spotless and welded together with a lead rod or patch. That way it's 100% percent waterproof and won't fail again!!

13. Thanks for this clear explination, but shouldn't allowance be made for future movement of the lead sheet? Perhaps a shallow fold along the length of the crack?

14. I've listed most of the brands on my website see the link provided in the description bar.
    A simple Google search will do the rest for you. When using Acrylic sealant like the one shown remember not to skimp, its not as effective if you go too thin.

15. Tried to find the list of suppliers/manufacturers as mentioned in the video but couldn't. Especially interested to know where to get the fibre reinforced acrylic paint.

16. A very clear video regarding both the repair process and safety/insurance advice.. Thank you for putting it together.
