How to make & fit lead soakers. Lead soaker install on slate roof!

In this video I show how to make and fit lead soakers. I show two ways to make lead soakers including a head fix and a nibbed return. In this example I show how to fit the soakers against the cheek of a dormer, but the principle is the same for soakers against a wall, or a chimney stack.
