   Not if you are talking about the typical cheap small AL z-metal

   But it would be better than nothing which is what a lot of guys use.

   If you have a better detailed description , our local copper guru can fabricate any type of flashing you can envision. Smaller face profile, special bends..do it right.

   Thanks Sphere. Here are a couple of pics. One is of the flashing and another of the mock up fascia and trim with Z flashing on top.

   That appears to me to be not what you want. The water can and will wick around that flat ( yes, even uphill) and is not suitable.

   A drip edge has a small kick verticaly that dispels the water away from the fascia or trim. Not a flat table that slows the progress and allows capillary action to wick.

   Being as you have what appears to be crown, you want a smaller face on the DE...I.E. custom if you cant find it locally.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

   Thanks Sphere. So I need a drip edge with a small kick. I hope I can find one around here.

   Go to the lumberyard and ask for a ~1/2" x 3" drip edge made with a kickout on the 1/2" leg. Trace the crown molding full size on a piece of paper and then sketch in exactly what you want for flashing. The lumberyard guys can order it from a metal roofing supplier or another sheet metal place. Not likely that anyone stocks what you want. I get stuff made all the time.

   The absolute cat's meow are these guys:

   The metal roofing manufacturers up here will all make flashing, which I like because I can get it in their kynar paint finishes.
