Yogi:

That's a good one. You need to send it to Marc mhorovitz@gardenrailways.com as a "Tips and Tricks" submission. Just put "tips" in the subject line. Short, sweet, and straight to the point, and works well. That is what a good "tip or trick" is all about, besides you get a few bucks if he publishes it in the mag.

I Second that, send it in, Looks like I've found a sloution a clean ridge line

 

Thanks

Dave

Easy Ridge Cap for your roof.
Posted by wd8jik on Thursday, August 6, 2009 2:54 PM

One thing that always bothered me when making a roof has been the top sections where they meet.

I now use a piece of panel trim used where two panels meet.

I cut off the bottom section and use it as shown below.
I have tried it with all types of building materials and have been satisfied with the results.

Easy to use and takes most types of glue well.
