if the flashing’s shot, covering it up is just delaying the inevitable.

Honestly, I’ve seen this play out too many times. Quick fixes just invite more headaches down the road—especially with water damage. These days, I always strip back to solid material, check for rot, then install new flashing. Takes longer up front, but it’s way cheaper than chasing leaks and repairing framing later. If you’re dealing with old aluminum, it’s usually brittle anyway—patching rarely holds up.
