It's really situational I'm not sure what I did in that video but if you don't have to meet a certain height it's nicer to put it a half inch below the brick this way it serves as a drip edge because the water can't go back up and in when it rolls off
I've seen others put an expansion joint around the flu, remove it after the cement dries, and finish with high temp silicone. The cap will always cover this, but what are your thoughts on an expansion gap around the flu?
I am about to do a concrete pour crown on my . I watched and read almost every video on TH-cam . I like your method, but i have 2 questions. Hopefully, you will see this and give me an answer.. Do you not need a drip edge? And if I do this method exactly like this video, is there a way I can alter the form to add a drip edge?
I didn't put a drip edge on because my concrete goes below The top course of brick at least a quarter inch to a half inch so in other words the cap is hugging the entire chimney. The band is secured because it is a self-clamping design that's why I showed how to make the bands first. When you get up there you just set the band on and then loosen the screws a little bit until it drops get it into place and then tighten the screws back up using the screws as a clamp mechanism
Hello, After you cap off your chimney with the metal sheet, can you cover the whole thing with concrete and then add primer and paint it, then use henry tropi-cool 100 % silicone for top off everything?
It's a lot easier to understand when proper terminology is used and we don't mix terms. The cap is something different. This is a crown.
are you a 1/2 '' above your brick with your first 2x4

Half inch below if possible... But sometimes you have to adjust

Drip edge isn't for a walkway... What are you pouring?
The chimney crown/cap
And how did you secure the top band to the first band?
I'm sorry I thought this was about the walkway okay I'll answer your question now that I know it's about the chimney cap I should have looked

I don't use any of that material, I could not answer that question for you
You do not use that materials because its costly.
@@johnb9710 I do not use that material because if you do the masonry right you don't need that material. I am a Mason so I use cementitious material
Thank you!
Not enough pitch. Should be a bond-break at the flue.
