Waterproof and impermeable to moisture - impermeable to the passage of liquid water and water vapour.

Damaged or compromised aluminum flashing can allow moisture to infiltrate the building envelope, which can lead to structurally damaging and unhealthy mold. Flashing is essential in roof valleys as water accumulates in low spots through normal runoff as well as through ice dams in winter. Because I have only done this for maquettes (sculptural models), I have not really filed any of my cuts.Adequate painting of the aluminum flashing will protect it from oxidizing due to pollutes and salty air. I will try to attach a picture of this material for any help and suggestions is always greatly appreciated. both the score and bend method and the tin-snips method bend the edges a bit, especially if the snips aren't brand new. Using a putty knife or a wire brush, scrape away any peeling, old paint, and rust from the surface of the aluminum flashing. I work as a sculptor and have a lot of trouble making models of proposed pieces that can reflect the aesthetic a finished stainless steel sculpture will present.
