Due to hail damage I received a few weeks ago an adjuster came out today and looked at the roof/chimney area and determined I need a new roof. I know there's lead at the chimney and he told me there were a few stand pipes that had lead around them. Of course, I'm going to ask the guys about giving me that lead but was curious how long I should let them "cure" since they've been out in the elements for years...a period of dry up, if you will. I'd hate to drop some of that in my pot and have a visit from the dreaded Tinsel Fairy.
