   I used it once, when I needed a flashing in a pinch and my only choices were that or aluminum, on AQC lumber. 

   I wasn't impressed.  The copper layer is super thin and the stuff teats easily.  Maybe I had a bad batch but I don't plan on using it again. 

   Depending on where you live and what the application is you have many options.

   get a roll of 8" lead flashing, or measure each rough opening width, add a foot, and buy it from a yard that sells lead by linear foot     cut length to width of rough opening plus one foot    lay it flat on subfloor bringing it into house (past jack studs) by 3/4" to 1"    secure these edges to subfloor w edge only of roofing nail head to protectagaist scuff-up during construction, .e. do not perforate lead w roof nails, just hold it down     use scrap block on lead, tapping block w hammer or mallet to flatten to subfloor starting in middle and working to ends    crease vertical w block at jack stud to run vertical 6"     very malleable, easy to work, no brake needed, no sharp edges, lasts forever even in salt air climate     set door and install     3/4" to 1" that extended into house past jack studs gets folded up just prior to underlayment/tile or finish flooring install    the side wings at jacks then get folded into r.o., forming a 45 degree crease on both ends like hospital corners on a bedsheet     this creates a vertical curb flashing across the entire opening against wind driven rain, it can only run out
