[TowerTalk] Cadwelding Copper Flashing (?)

[kk9a at arrl.net]

It's probably too thin to weld and a mechanical clamp may be a better
solution.  Polyphaser makes a clamp (PT#58R-112S) that will attach 1 1/2"
wide strap to a 5/8" ground rod.

I have searched and searched throughout the archives of TowerTalk and have
not been able to ascertain the definitive (or even a good idea) method for
cadwelding copper flashing to copper-clad rods.  Is this possible?  Has
anyone done it?  I did see one email that referred to Cadweld's commercial
molds for doing this but am not sure which product the author was referring
to.

About to put down a ground system for my tower using copper flashing and
would like to hear the best method for making the bond from the flashing to
the rods.

Thanks in advance,

Jason
