real lead flashing - for dolls houses
 

Hi, this is just a tester to see if a real 'aged' self adhesive lead
flashing product appeals to anybody. Here in the u.k it is hard to
find and l wonder if you also find it difficult to locate.
l have the means to manufacture it, please contact me and tell me if
you think the idea is a good.
If the response is positive l will be looking for distributors all
over the world. Many thanks

I would question seriously the business sense of putting lead
_anything_ on the market, in this litigious day and age, not to
mention the dubious wisdom of putting lead in an environment or
situation where there is even the slightest chance of it being
ingested by a youngster. We are, after all, talking about _doll_
houses. And whether or not a house is designed and built with
children in mind, there is always the chance that somewhere down the
line, some little nipper is going to be gobbling lead chips like they
were potato chips. Personally, I wouldn't buy it. There are,
however, casting metals out there that have a low melt temp and look a
lot like lead, w/o the toxic properties. They might be investigated
to fit this application.

There is information on the DTI website regarding lead, and reading
discussions on other news groups I would advise against it, I use the foil
tops on yoghurt pots for my simulation of lead flashing in scales 1:76 1:43
and 1:12.

Automotive body work sometimes uses an adhesive backed aluminium tape
about 2 " wide. This material should be very easy to use as flashing,
and with a bit of creative ageing, should work well.

There's also Beryl Armstrong's suggestion of using perspex and lightly
scoring it, then painting it black & wiping off the excess so the black
stays in the scored lines. If we were talking Thorne rooms maybe lead in
scale makes sense, but dhs are toys whether little children or we bigger
ones play with them & lead isn't just toxic to ingest.

I bet the products like Gallery Glass, artificial stained glass, could
be applied thinly to produce a good "flashing" simulation. I would
just spread the "lead" Gallery Glass on with a pallette knife, or,
better yet, just spread it thinly on to a piece of glass, let it dry,
then cut it into whatever shapes you need, to fit around architectural
features or whatever.
