Is there any lead in metal roofs?	Guest User 9/9/2004	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3962/find/
This is certainly not the case with most metal roofs today. However, some older roofs could have lead in them and sometimes lead flashings have been used. Additionally, some metals are available with lead coatings for historic applications.	Guest User 9/9/2004	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3963/find/
can you solder a patch on a metal roof	Guest User 12/4/2005	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3964/find/
It depends upon the type of metal roof. Most products, though, the manufacturer will suggest some other options.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 12/5/2005	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3965/find/

Yes, you can probably uncrimp the panels to replace one.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 12/5/2005	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3967/find/
would it be easy to patch the holes or change the tin.if patch the holes what is the best way to do that.	Guest User 12/6/2005	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3968/find/
This is pretty far outsid emy expertise unfortunately but I am guessing that the holes include rust onb the backside of the metal and will probably continue to spread even with patching attempts. However, if you do a Google search for "metal roof restoration" you will find many products that are coatings and membranes that will work for various types of repairs.
